India and South Africa are currently wrestling in a T20I series. Post the T20I series, IND vs SA ODI series will take place. The IND vs SA ODI will witness three games. The matches will take place on October 6, October 9, and October 11. While South Africa will be led by Temba Bavuma in the ODI series, India is yet to announce its ODI squad.

Since the Indian team will travel to Australia for ICC T20 World Cup 2022 ahead of the IND vs SA ODI series, many prominent Indian players will not be available for the ODI series against South Africa. Hence, some other players will get a chance in the series. Here we talk about 3 Indian players who can make a surprise entry into the India squad for South Africa ODIs.

While bowling, the right-arm medium pacer also picked 3 wickets at an average of 18.33. Since all-rounders like Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel will not be available in the IND vs SA ODI series, Rishi Dhawan might be picked as one of the all-rounders in the India squad.
