After losing the test series India would look to settle odds by winning the ODI series. the 6 match ODI series between India and South Africa begins tomorrow and its one fierce battle of the best ODI teams.
South Africa is the top-ranked ODI team while India is second in the ICC rankings for One Day Internationals. It is literally the battle of the best ODI sides and fans are excited to see these two teams take on each other.
India would bank upon its best ODI players who would hold the key. To get the better of South Africa, India would have to be on top of its game. For India to be at the top of its game, India’s best ODI players will have to lead India’s assault on the Proteas.
THESE WOULD BE THE 4 KEY PLAYERS FOR INDIA IN THE ODI SERIES
- Rohit Sharma
He did not perform well in the test series but India would need him to be at the top of his game in the ODI series. India would be largely dependant on Rohit Sharma’s batting to outsmart the Proteas.
Rohit Sharma is one of India’s best ODI players or rather the second best after Virat Kohli. He would have a very big responsibility on his shoulders.
2. Virat Kohli
The Indian skipper would be India’s most important player in the ODI series. Virat Kohli is the first ranked ICC batsman in ODIs. India would have no options but to have its captain lead from the front.
He has shown great form in the test series even though India lost the series. He was the top scorer in the test series and India would want him to continue his great run of form and win the ODI series for his team.
3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
This bowler has only learned to get better and better with each game. He would be leading India’s pace attack and will have a great role to play in the series. Bhuvi has shown great class and talent across all formats. He has been sensational in the test series and swung the ball like a king.
He also made valuable contributions down the order with the bat. He would hold the highest utility for India in this ODI series.
4. MS Dhoni
Dhoni would carry a lot of experience with him. MS Dhoni is a fine wicketkeeper but India would also need his services with the bat. Dhoni would be the ideal man to play at number 4 in South Africa. Dhoni would carry a lot of value in the Indian line up.
