India and South Africa lock horns in a three-match ODI series – to mark an end to their international season for a prolonged gap. Yes, the series might not excite many in a Twenty20 World Cup year but the Proteas have already played a T20 series against India in the ongoing season.
Moreover, the visiting team has announced a strong squad, which also includes Faf du Plessis. He was kept out from the ODI team since the World Cup but Plessis finally made a comeback after stepping down as captain.
While SA have a strong squad for the series, many regular Indian players are expected to miss three ODIs.
Especially, being a world cup year, a few of the regulars might take rest before carrying the burden in IPL 2020.
Regarding the same, in this article, we figured out three players, who deserved to be rested for the series against South Africa.
India vs South Africa 2020: Three Indian Players Who Deserve To Be Rested –
3. Ravindra Jadeja:

The stylish southpaw Ravindra Jadeja used to be on the bench more often than not but after his brilliant knock against New Zealand in World Cup semifinal, he became a regular feature for India, across the formats.
Apart from one T20I series at home, he played in every series for India since the World Cup.
In total, Jadeja has played eight Tests, 12 ODIs and seven T20Is. To avoid workload burden, the team management might ask the selection panel – to put Jadeja away from the series against South Africa.
2. Jasprit Bumrah:

You might wonder to see his name on the chart but the flamboyant cricketer was the only player for India, who features in every single game during the tour of New Zealand. Ahead of the tour, he played in the series against Australia and Sri Lanka.
As he is already prone to injuries, the team management might not risk him for the series against South Africa.
Following the South Africa series, Jasprit Bumrah will also take a toll on his body, as he is a vital player for Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League 2020.
1. Virat Kohli:

Virat Kohli is the deserving player to take rest then no one else in the Indian National Cricket Team. He led the team in New Zealand across formats and also led the team against Australia and Sri Lanka.
Currently, he is facing issues with his batting form as well. Time away from the game will help Kohli get into the groove and being the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kohli will have a heavy work to do during the IPL.
