Shikhar Dhawan-led Team India is gearing up for the clash against South Africa in the three-match ODI series against South Africa, beginning Thursday in Lucknow. The second-string side has the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Rajat Patidar, Rahul Tripathi and Shubman Gill in the squad and it would be interesting to see how the lineup performs against one of the best limited-overs side going around.
All the stand-by players for the T20 World Cup, playing in the South Africa ODI series will aim to use the three games to make a case for themselves for the main squad, stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan said on Wednesday. With Jasprit Bumrah already ruled out, the series could be a shot-out between Deepak Chahar, who is in the stand-by list and Mohammed Siraj, who could make that list in the event that Mohammed Shami fails to become match-fit before October 15.
A new-look Indian team, led by Shikhar Dhawan, will aim to make a statement and be in the reckoning for next year's 50-over World Cup when the three-match ODI series against South Africa begins on Thursday. In the absence of big guns like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin, who are off to Australia for the T20 World Cup, the Indian selectors opted for a fresh squad that includes Mukesh Kumar and Rajat Patidar, who earned their maiden call ups.
