Indian team
IND vs SA Series: Two stages of the series being played between India and South Africa have been passed. First there has been T20 series and then ODI. Now it is the turn of the test series. How important the upcoming series is, it can be known from the fact that all the big and senior players of Team India are making a comeback from this, while the command is also in the hands of Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, there is still time for the Test series to start, but before that there are some players who will return to India. The series is over for him.
India vs South Africa test series will start from 26th December
The test series against South Africa will start from 26 December. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have arrived for this. Apart from these two, Jasprit Bumrah will also be seen on the field for the first time after the ODI World Cup 2023. Team India’s preparations are now almost in the final stages. BCCI had selected different teams for all three formats. The players who have not been selected for the Test series and were in the ODIs only, will now return directly to India. It includes players like Sai Sudarshan, Tilak Verma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh and Akashdeep. However, this series was important for Sai Sudarshan, Tilak Verma and Rinku Singh, because it gave them a chance to debut in ODIs. This tour is going to be unforgettable for them. But if we talk about Yuzvendra Chahal and Akashdeep, both of them were also included in the ODI team, but they did not get a chance to play even a single match. That means these players have become mere travellers.
Mohammed Shami’s replacement has not been revealed, will Arshdeep Singh be stopped?
Meanwhile, the players who will be seen in the Test series after ODI will also be seen in the Test series. They include the names of Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Mukesh Kumar and Prasidh Krishna. Although Mohammed Shami was also selected in the Test series, but he is not completely well yet, so now he is out. The question is also that no player’s name has been announced yet as a replacement for Mohammed Shami. In such a situation, will there be any Indian bowler who will stay in South Africa for the Test series after ODI? It is believed that the kind of bowling done by Arshdeep Singh in ODIs can be stopped. He took five wickets in the first match of the ODI series and after this he managed to take four wickets in the last match. He has been given the Player of the Series award. But what the BCCI and Team India management thinks will become clear in the coming days.
Team India for ODI series: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudarshan, Tilak Verma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Akashdeep.
