India and South Africa meet each other for the deciding third ODI match at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. While the Proteas had won the first game, which was reduced to 40 overs-a-side, by 9 runs, the hosts bounced back and registered a dominating 7-wicket win in the second game.
Indian bowlers did a commendable job in the second match, especially in the slog overs. However, it is the poor form of India's openers -- Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill -- that would be troubling the side. Here is what we think could be India's playing XI in the third ODI vs South Africa Shikhar Dhawan (c): The southpaw has failed to make any noticeable contribution in the series so far.
He scored 4 runs in the first game and 13 in the second. Shubman Gill: The right-handed opening batter was looking in great touch in the second ODI before he handed a return catch to Kagiso Rabada, scoring a 26-ball 28.
Ishan Kishan: The southpaw was in menacing form in the second ODI. He scored a 93 off 84 balls. His innings was laced with four fours and seven sixes.
