India vs South Africa, 1st ODI Live Updates: Covers Taken Off, Toss To Take Place Soon

IND vs SA 1st ODI Live Score Updates: The covers have come off, toss to take place soon. The toss for the first ODI match between India and South Africa has been delayed due to rain at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Thursday. The start of the match was already delayed by half an hour earlier but the rain returned to further delay the start. After clinching the T20I series 2-1 against South Africa, the Indian team now faces the Proteas in a three-match ODI series. Notably, many players from India's main squad will miss the series as they have headed to Australia for the T20 World Cup that kicks off on October 16. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the Indian side with Shreyas Iyer being his deputy. On the other hand, South Africa will be led by their regular skipper Temba Bavuma. (LIVE SCORECARD)
