Team India’s predicted squad for ODI series against South Africa

India Squad Against South Africa

After the completion of three-match T20I series against South Africa, team India will play a three-match ODI series. Let us look at Team India Squad Against South Africa here.

With World Cup 2022 is approaching, the senior team will fly directly to Australia right after the T20 series against South Africa at home.

The squad for the T20I series has already been announced by the BBCI. But the squad for the ODI series is yet to announce. But, It will be a tough call to pick the best squad without most the experience players.

Shikhar Dhawan likely to lead team India

The veteran Shikhar Dhawan, who led the team to 3-0 win over West Indies in July 2022 series will likely to lead in the South Africa series in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma and vice-captain KL Rahul.

Dhawan scored 168 runs in the 3 ODIs he played against West Indies, including 2 fifties. While he amassed 154 in 3 ODI against Zimbabwe in August 2022.

While, Shubman Gill who is playing good cricket for some time now, will be a sure shot opener alongside Dhawan in the ODI series.

Gill was the highest run-scorer in the 2022 India’s tour of West Indies. He scored 205 runs in three games he played there at an average of 102.50.

The stylish batter also had a great outing in the Zimbabwe series, where he scored a whopping 245 runs in 3 games with an even better average of 120.69. He smashed a brilliant hundred too in the series.

Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson

The selectors might give chance to some of the talented players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajat Patidar, and Ishan Kishan. While Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson, who already having good international experience will likely to be selected in the squad.

Interestingly, Samson was the captain of India aside for the New Zealand series, which India won by 3-0.

As India will miss the services of medium-pacer all-rounder Hardik Pandya. So, Rishi Dhawan, who recently got a chance to play in the India versus New Zealand ODI series will get a chance for the same role.

Shardul Thakur will also be back in the Indian side again in the series. While Prasidh Krishna, Mohammad Siraj and Avesh Khan will likely to be the fast-bowlers in the squad. Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar will be there as spinners.

The first match between India and South Africa will take place at Ranchi on October 6. Second in Lucknow on October 9. While the final match will be held at Delhi on October 11.
