While the excitement for the series-decider IND vs SA 3rd Test is rising among cricket fans, the ODI series that will follow is expected to be equally thrilling. IND vs SA ODI series will consist of three games. The first two games will take place at Boland Park in Paarl on January 19 and 21. The third ODI will take place on January 23 at Newlands in Cape Town.

The Indian squad is led by KL Rahul in the ODI series while Temba Bavuma will lead the South Africa team. The Indian squad is short of key players like Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Shami. However, India has few powerful batsmen who can shatter opposition bowlers convincingly. Here we talk about 3 Indian players who can score the most runs during IND vs SA ODI series.

KL Rahul is the first Indian player who can definitely turn out to be the top run-getter during IND vs SA ODI series. The right-handed batsman has shown an outstanding form across formats in recent times, especially since the ODI series against England in March last year.

The 29-year-old slammed match-winning centuries during the England Test tour and recent IND vs SA 1st Test. Due to his consistent show, he was also named the new ODI vice-captain. With his current form, KL Rahul can definitely go big with the bat in India vs South Africa ODI series.

Suryakumar Yadav is another player who might score the most runs during IND vs SA ODI series. Yadav will bat at the middle-order and is highly likely to feature in all three games. During his last ODI series against Sri Lanka in July 2021 which was also his ODI debut, the right-handed batsman slammed 124 runs in 3 games at an average of 62.0.

He slammed 1 half-century and also won the player of the series award for his spectacular batting show. Hence, Yadav can repeat that stint in South Africa as well.

Virat Kohli is the third Indian player who might end up as the top run-scorer during IND vs SA ODI series. Although Kohli is facing a slump in Test cricket since November 2019, his performance in ODIs is quite impressive.

Last year, he only played 3 ODI games in which he score 129 runs at an average of 43.0. He also slammed 2 half-centuries in those 3 innings. In his last 12 ODIs, the right-handed batsman has piled up 560 runs at an average of 46.6. While he did not smash any century, he smacked 7 half-centuries.
