IND vs SA: India’s Predicted Playing XI Against South Africa– India’s Tour of South Africa 2021-22, 3rd ODI

KL Rahul (C)

KL Rahul will be the skipper of the team in IND vs SA 3rd ODI as well. As a skipper, KL Rahul has largely failed in the series. He faced a loss as a captain in the 2nd Test and then lost the opening two ODI games. However, he played a good knock of 55 runs in the 2nd ODI.

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan will be another opener for the team in IND vs SA 3rd ODI. The left-handed batsman smashed a good knock of 79 runs in the 1st ODI. In the 2nd game, he got out for 29. Now, Dhawan will look for a good show in the 3rd ODI to justify his status as an opener.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli will be another player in the middle-order. The right-handed batsman totally failed in the previous game, getting out for a duck. However, Kohli played a good knock of 51 runs in the 1st game. Now, he will look for a good batting show in the final game.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav might be roped in the playing XI in the next game. India’s middle-order has struggled to score well in the two games so far. We saw how India failed to get the necessary runs on the board after the fall of the first 3-4 wickets in both games. With the inclusion of Surya, the team will get additional support in the middle.

Rishabh Pant (WK)

Rishabh Pant will be the wicketkeeper for the team in IND vs SA 3rd ODI. The left-handed batsman played a marvellous knock in the previous game, slamming an 85-run quickfire knock. However, he missed a crucial stumping of Quinton de Kock at the start which cost India heavily. In the final game, Pant will aim to come up with a similar batting show and better work behind the stumps.

Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer is another player who might be roped in the middle-order. He came up with a better performance in the IND vs SA 2nd ODI, scoring 22 runs. He also bowled a few overs to support the team in bowling. Iyer will aim to convert his knock into a better score in the next game.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin will be one of the all-rounders in the next game. The right-handed batsman has picked 2 wickets in the series so far. With the bat, he did a great job in IND vs SA 2nd ODI, slamming unbeaten 25 runs for the team. Ashwin will look to lead the spin attack against the home side in the 3rd game.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal might be another spinner that the team might pick in IND vs SA 3rd ODI. Chahal has only managed to get 1 wicket in the series so far. The leg spinner has bowled at a good economy rate so far, leaking just 5.0 runs per over. Chahal will look to pick more wickets in the next game.

Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur will be one of the pacers in the playing XI in the next game. Thakur has highly impressed with his batting in the series, smashing unbeaten 50 and 40 in both games. The team will keep him in the playing XI to get a good finish in the end, if the need arises. However, Thakur needs to pull up his socks in bowling, as he has only managed to get 1 wicket in 2 games so far.

Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar might replace Bhuvneshwar Kumar in IND vs SA 3rd ODI. Bhuvneshwar has largely failed to come up with a good show in both the games. He failed to pick any wicket in the 1st and 2nd ODI and is the only full-time bowler to not get a single wicket. Chahar has done a good job for the team in the past and he might make an entry in the playing XI in the final encounter.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is the most successful bowler for the team so far. The right-arm pacer has scalped 3 wickets in 2 games at an average of 28.33 and an economy of 4.25. In the absence of Mohammed Shami, Bumrah needs to lead the attack in the pace department. He is an important bowler for the team in the final clash.
