Team India would now like to take revenge for the clean sweep in the Test series in the ODI series. The three-match ODI series between India and South Africa is to start from November 30. The first ODI match between the two teams will be played in Ranchi on Sunday. Regular captain Shubman Gill is not a part of this series due to neck injury. In his place, wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has been given the captaincy. Know here what the playing eleven of Team India could be like in the first ODI.

Will either of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal get a chance?

Former captain Rohit Sharma is sure to open in the first ODI. However, who will be his partner? This is a great question. Actually, there are two contenders to open with Rohit. In such a situation, only one of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal will get a chance. Star batsman Virat Kohli is also certain to play at number three.

Tilak Verma or Rishabh Pant, who will replace Shreyas Iyer?

ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is also not a part of this series due to injury. In such a situation, Tilak Verma or Rishabh Pant can be seen playing in his place at number four. After this, captain KL Rahul’s play at number five is also confirmed. Nitish Kumar Reddy may get a chance in the ODI series in the role of Hardik Pandya.

Looking at the Ranchi pitch, Team India can field with 3 spinners. There are two all-rounders in it. Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav can be seen in action along with Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. Whereas in fast bowling, Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh can be seen in action. Including Nitish Reddy there will be a total of six bowling options.
