After a successful win against South Africa at home in the three-match T20I series, a second-string Indian cricket team led by Shikhar Dhawan is locking its horns against Proteas in a three-match ODI series in Lucknow on Thursday. The series opener saw a delay owing to heavy rain in Lucknow, but as the game began the Indian side won the toss and Dhawan opted to bowl against Temba Bavuma’s side.

After the toss, as former Indian cricketer, Murali Kartik was doing his presentation duties and was talking about the weather, it was then that India fast bowler Deepak Chahar walked into the frame and stood still directly behind him, looking at the camera. Chahar’s epic reaction has gone viral on the internet and has left the fans in splits.

Meanwhile, due to heavy rain in Lucknow, the first ODI match was delayed, following which the game was reduced to a 40-over game. Talking about the toss, Dhawan opted to field first as there was a bit of moisture on the wicket. He said: 

“We would like to field first. There is a bit of moisture on the wicket and we want to exploit that. We got 6 batters and 5 bowlers playing. Ruturaj is making his debut today. 2 spinners and 3 pacers,”

He added: “We would have liked to bowl first as well. We have a job to do with the bat and we need to adapt accordingly after the first few overs. You gotta be able to adapt to different formats quickly and we still want to keep those T20 skills in check. Every game for us is a big opportunity. Malan is back at the top, Klaasen is back in the middle and also Shamsi is back,”

Check out the playing XI of both sides:

South Africa (Playing XI): Janneman Malan, Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma(c), Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi

India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan(c), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson(w), Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan
