LIVE 1ST ODI IND SA The team of Shikhar Dhawan is eager to do well against South Africa. The India vs. South Africa one-day international series begins on Thursday. The Indian players are in Lucknow, and the match’s preparations are underway. When India’s T20 World Cup-bound squad is not present, Shikhar Dhawan is in charge of the team. The Rohit Sharma-led side will travel to Perth on the same day as Dhawan’s team, who play the first ODI tomorrow:
It just serves to highlight how desperate the Indian players are to win the ODI series. On Monday, several of them worked long hours in the nets. On Tuesday, the Ekana Cricket Stadium experienced the same thing that was predicted.
Interestingly, Rohit Sharma led India was preparing for the T20 encounter against the Proteas while the Indian ODI squad, captained by Shikhar, rehearsed in Lucknow.
It is significant to note that India has named a reserve team for the ODI series. The majority of the T20 players will go to Australia to get ready for the T20 World Cup. Some of them, like Deepak Chahar and Shreyas Iyer, who are at the World Cup as backups, will play the ODIs in the meantime. Only after the ODI series will they take off.
It wasn’t until Sunday that the 16-person team for the ODI series was revealed. As a result, the Dhawan-led team will have Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar among its newcomers. Recently, the combo has been in excellent form, and their efforts have been appropriately recognized.
Players have a fantastic opportunity to compete against South Africa in this series. A strong performance would strengthen India’s case for selection to the main squad since they have a strong bench.

India will be looking to do well in the ODI series despite the absence of their best players. India has already won the T20 series, and Dhawan’s team has the talent and demeanor to win the series in the ODI format as well. It won’t be an easy task, however, as South Africa will want to conclude the trip on a high note. A very tough three-match series is expected.
