A crucial assignment for both teams
ODI cricket took a backseat in 2021. With the WTC on the line and the T20 World Cup that was scheduled, most teams did not involve in a lot of ODIs. However, this will change now. The 2023 World Cup is nearing and hence, teams would want to try out their combinations at the earliest.
Both India and South Africa will want to do well in the series. India’s ODI tactics have not delivered results in recent ICC events. With a new coach at the helm, this issue is likely to be targeted. KL Rahul will lead the squad in the absence of Rohit Sharma. After a good show in Tests, the Proteas would want to make a complete sweep by winning the ODI series, as well.
