Ishan Kishan returned to the 15-member team under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, who last played T20 International in 2023. Vice-captain Shubhman Gill has been dropped because his form was going bad for some time. But if we talk about the dropped players, they too can form a playing 11 that can give competition to any team.

If the playing 11 is made of the players who were not selected in the team, then it will be such that you will also think that this team can defeat anyone. This also testifies that India’s future in cricket is bright. Let us choose the playing 11 of such players.

Gill captain, Yashasvi’s opening partner

Shubman Gill can be the captain of this team, who is also the vice-captain of the national team. However, due to poor form, he was left out of the T20 World Cup squad. Yashasvi Jaiswal can start the innings with Gill, who has the ability to hit big shots from the first ball.

Rishabh Pant wicket keeper, Jitesh also included

In the last few matches, an experiment was also done in the national team, both the wicketkeepers were played. One of them was Jitesh Sharma, who has been with the team for a long time but could not make his place at the last moment.

Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami are being included as two fast bowlers, who have a lot of experience. However, Harbhajan Singh said during live on JioHotstar that Siraj should be prepared, he can get a chance any time.

KL Rahul admitted his mistake

If punishment is given, players are fined five percent of their match fee for every over that their team is unable to bowl in the stipulated time. As the stand-in captain, KL Rahul accepted the charge and accepted the punishment, so no formal hearing was required.

KL Rahul also lost the toss in both the opening ODI matches against South Africa, but his luck changed in the third ODI being played in Visakhapatnam. This time Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl.

Know what Indian captain KL Rahul said after the toss

In the third ODI against South Africa, KL Rahul said after winning the toss, “It will be better to chase the target considering the dew. It is better to bowl before that. We practiced here last night. There was dew and it did not come quickly like Ranchi and Raipur. We want to chase the target. Let’s see how we bowl first. The wicket looks good. We are very happy with the way we have played in the last two matches. Looking at the conditions. We have done well and there are a lot of positives.”

Team India’s playing eleven in the third ODI- Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Verma, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper/captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna.

Both the matches of India vs South Africa ODI series have been exciting. Team India won the first match played in Ranchi and South Africa won the second ODI played in Raipur. Now the third match to be held in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, 6th December will be the series decider. Indian players have reached Visakhapatnam, but meanwhile a video of them is going viral on social media. Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma are being taught to climb the escalator by carrying their luggage themselves. This is making fun of the airport management.

Indian players faced problems at the airport

The viral video is said to be of Raipur Airport, where the escalator was not working. Whereas Indian and South African players had reached here only 3 days ago. This video is from the time when Indian players were going from Raipur to Visakhapatnam for the third ODI. It is seen in the video that the escalator is closed and not running.

It is very difficult to climb the escalator with luggage. It is seen in the video that Gautam Gambhir also had to carry his luggage himself. All the players including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma had to carry their luggage on the escalator. Raipur Airport Management is also being made fun of on social media.

This is the escalator at Raipur airport which is not working, because of which the Indian team players have to carry their luggage and walk up. It’s such a big and modern airport, yet they can’t even fix one escalator. And even after knowing that the Indian team was going to… pic.twitter.com/WzcrI6P7uO

Tagging the social media page of Raipur Airport, a user wrote, “This is the escalator of Raipur Airport which is not working. Due to which the players of the Indian team have to carry their luggage themselves to go up. This is such a big and modern airport, yet they cannot even get an escalator repaired. Despite knowing that the Indian team is going to come here, they did not get it repaired. How can they create such a big problem?”

IND vs SA 2nd ODI: In the second ODI played in Raipur, Team India suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of South Africa. Even after giving a big target of 359 runs, India could not save the match. Proteas won the match by scoring 362 runs for 6 wickets with 4 balls remaining. The three-match series is now tied at 1-1. The last ODI to be held in Visakhapatnam on 6th December has now become the real ‘final’ of the series. After the match, the pain of Indian captain KL Rahul was clearly visible. He admitted that the team missed in many important places, especially in bowling and fielding.

dew becomes the biggest enemy

Rahul said in clear words that bowling in the second innings was becoming very difficult because dew was falling continuously. Due to this, the bowlers faced difficulty in catching the ball and their grip became weak. Rahul said, “It is very difficult to digest the defeat. It was not at all easy to bowl in so much dew. The umpire also helped in changing the ball. It was very important for us to win the toss and I am blaming myself for losing the toss.”

He told that the team scored more than 350, which was good considering the performance of the batsmen, but the bowlers could not take advantage of the same.

Fielding and lower order spoiled the match

Rahul admitted that on some occasions the team could have done better in fielding. Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped the catch of Aiden Markram, which cost India dearly. Because Markram later scored a brilliant century and changed the course of the match.

The captain also admitted that his batsmen tried to score 20-25 more runs in the end, but the contribution from the lower order was not as expected. He said that if the lower order had added a little more runs, the result of the match could have been different.

Praise for Kohli and Gaikwad

However, Rahul praised Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad a lot. Both of them scored brilliant centuries and took India to a huge score of 358. Rahul said, “It was great to see both of them bat like this. Virat was perfect as always. The way Rituraj played spin, he got us 20 more runs.”

Series decided in Visakhapatnam

Now both India and South Africa have their eyes on the final ODI. The team that wins this match will win the series. The biggest challenge before Team India will be to improve the fielding and bowling strategy.

Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, India had to face defeat by 4 wickets in the second ODI against South Africa. The Indian captain believes that the defeat in this match is not difficult to digest, because bowling in the second innings had become difficult due to heavy dew.

India scored 358 runs losing 5 wickets at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. In response, the South African team registered victory in 49.2 overs.

After South Africa lost the match by 4 wickets, KL Rahul said, “Considering how much dew there is in the second innings and how difficult it is to bowl, the umpire was good enough to change the ball. The toss plays a huge role.” KL Rahul said laughingly, “I am cursing myself for losing the toss.”

However, KL Rahul believes that the bowlers and fielders could have performed better. He said, “There are always some things which we could have done better. In batting, I know a score of 350 was good, but even after the last match, the talk in the dressing room was how can we score an extra 20-25 runs to give relief to the bowlers with the wet ball.”

Discussing the 195-run partnership between Gaikwad and Kohli, KL Rahul said, “It was great to see the way Ritu batted. We have seen Virat Kohli score centuries 53 times. He just keeps doing his job. It was great to see Ritu batting, the way he picked up the pace after scoring his half-century. The pace at which he batted, we got extra 20 runs. Lower order batsmen can contribute more.” Were.”

India won the first ODI match played against South Africa in Ranchi by 17 runs. South Africa has leveled the series by winning the second match. In such a situation, the match to be played on 6th December has become decisive.
