IND vs SA Key battles:

Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Marco Jansen

Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiwal, who is yet to get going in the ODI format of the game, would like to do so in the third and final ODI against South Africa.

Jaiswal will have to tackle the bowling of Marco Jansen, who got the better of him in the previous match and has troubled him throughout the Test and ODI series.

Virat Kohli vs Nandre Burger

Virat Kohli, who is coming into the third ODI on the back of consecutive centuries against the Proteas, would aim to make another significant contribution in the series decider.

Kohli will go head-to-head against Nandre Burger, who will look to dismiss him early in the innings.

Aiden Markram vs Arshdeep Singh

Aiden Markram, who scored what eventually proved to be a match-winning century, would be entrusted to come good in the upcoming game as well.

Markram will be up against Arshdeep Singh, who was the only bowler that looked in control of proceedings in the previous match, and would hope to put on a similar effort in the next game.

Temba Bavuma vs Kuldeep Yadav

South Africa's ODI captain, Temba Bavuma, who built an important partnership for the second wicket with Markram, will have to once again take responsibility and provide stability to the team's middle order for the visitors to increase their chances of winning.

Bavuma will face the challenge of Kuldeep Yadav, who might consider himself a bit unlucky with his figures in the last match, despite bowling well, and would want the fielders to get hold of the ball in the third game.

IND vs SA Key Players:

IND- Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav

SA- Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi

Conclusion

As far as South Africa is concerned, the Proteas would look to add another feather to their successful tour of India by winning the upcoming game, having already won the Test series in India for the first time after 2000.
