IND vs SA: South Africa’s Predicted Playing XI Against India – India’s Tour of South Africa 2021-22, 1st ODI

Janneman Malan

Janneman Malan might be the opener for South Africa in IND vs SA 1st ODI. The right-handed batsman gave an astonishing performance during the previous ODI series against Sri Lanka in September 2021. The 25-year-old smacked 162 runs in 3 ODIs at an average of 54.0 and finished as the team’s top run-getter in the series. In just 11 ODIs so far, he holds an average of 82+.

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram will be another opener for the team in IND vs SA 1st ODI. Malan-Markram pair was quite successful during the previous ODI series against Sri Lanka. They both managed to give a good start to the team. In 3 ODIs, Markram had scored 119 runs at an average of 39.67 with a 96-run knock.

Temba Bavuma (C)

Temba Bavuma is the skipper of South Africa in the ODI series against India and will lead the team in IND vs SA 1st ODI. Bavuma gave an amazing performance in the Test series against India. In 6 innings, he batted at an average of 73+ and slammed 2 half-centuries. He also remained unbeaten in 3 games out of 6. With his fabulous batting form, Bavuma might emerge as a big threat to India in the ODI series.

Rassie van der Dussen

Rassie van der Dussen will be another player in the middle-order. Dussen wasn’t quite impressive in the IND vs SA Test series, scoring 117 runs in 6 innings at an average of 23.40. He did score a good knock of unbeaten 41 runs in one game. However, Dussen was spectacular during ICC T20 World Cup 2021 last year. The right-handed batsman slammed 177 runs in 5 games at an average of 59.0.

Quinton de Kock (WK)

Quinton de Kock will be the wicket-keeper for the team during IND vs SA 1st ODI. De Kock announced his retirement from Tests after IND vs SA 1st Test. Now, the left-handed batsman will aim to showcase his batting might in the ODI series. De Kock has suffered a rough patch in batting in the recent tournaments.

David Miller

David Miller might be another batsman in the playing XI for South Africa. Miller was quite impressive during ICC T20 World Cup 2021 last year. The left-handed batsman scored 44 runs in 3 innings at an average of 44.0, playing two unbeaten knocks. Miller has a lot of experience and will be useful against strong opposition like India.

Dwaine Pretorius

Dwaine Pretorius might be the all-rounder for South Africa in IND vs SA 1st ODI. The right-arm pacer gave an incredible performance during ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He scalped 9 wickets in 5 games and ended as the team’s top wicket-taker. Pretorius will look to attack with a similar force against India.

Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada will be one of the pacers for South Africa in the opening ODI. Rabada gave a marvellous performance in the Test series against India. The right-arm pacer grabbed 20 wickets in 3 Tests and played a leading role in diminishing India’s batting. Rabada will be in focus during the ODI series.

Marco Jansen

Marco Jansen is another pacer who might be part of the playing XI in IND vs SA 1st ODI. The left-arm pacer highly impressed with his Test debut against India. He scalped 19 wickets in 3 Tests. Now, the 21-year-old will seek to excel against India in the ODI series as well.

Lungi Ngidi

Lungi Ngidi will be another pacer that the team might pick in the 1st ODI against India. The right-arm pacer gave good support to the team in the bowling department during the Test series. He scalped 15 wickets in 3 Tests at an average of 15.0. Now, Lungi will aim for a similar show in the ODI series as well.

Tabraiz Shamsi

Tabraiz Shamsi might be picked as the spinner in the 1st ODI. Keshav Maharaj did not impress the team with his bowling in the Test series, picking just 1 wicket in 3 Tests. Hence, the team might give a chance to Shamsi in the ODI series. Shamsi gave a brilliant performance in ICC T20 World Cup 2021, hunting 8 wickets in 5 matches at an average of 15.12.
