The third ODI will be played between India and South Africa today
New Delhi. Indian cricket team captained by KL Rahul has a golden opportunity to win the ODI series in South Africa. Team India can clinch the series by winning the third and final ODI. The Indian team may make changes to the playing eleven in the crucial ODI at Boland Park, Paarl. Rajat Patidar may get a chance to make his debut in place of Tilak Verma. Sanju Sassaman can be seen in a different role in this match. Sanju Samson may be promoted in the batting order. If that happens, it could be a lucrative deal for the Kerala batsman as he might get a chance to spend more time at the crease.
The Indian team is desperate to win the ODI series against the hosts South Africa (IND vs SA). Tilak Verma may be ruled out of the third match. He got his chance in the first 2 ODIs but could not capitalize on it. On the other hand, KL Rahul can give a chance to young Rajat Patidar in the crucial ODI. Rahul is excited to see Rajat’s performance. Rajat has scored a century in the IPL while he has been doing well in domestic cricket for some time now. Better performance can be expected from silver.
KL Rahul has a chance to create history, can match Virat Kohli, will have to go all out to win the ODI series.

Tilak Verma failed to make an impression
It will not be a surprise if Tilak Verma fails to make a place in the playing eleven. The left-handed batsman had a chance to make a mark in the current series but failed to do so. Tilak, who performed brilliantly in the home T20 series against Australia, failed to impress in South Africa. Shreyas Iyer is out of the second and third ODIs due to preparations for the Test series. In such a situation, there may be a change in the middle order in the Indian team. Rajat is an aggressive batsman and knows well how to finish the match. He can bat at number 5 while Rinku is certain to bat at number 6.
Sanju Samson’s batting order may change
Sanju Samson did not get a chance to bat in the first ODI, while in the second ODI he got a chance to play a big innings but failed. In such a situation, he can be sent to bat at number three in the third ODI. They will get an opportunity to open their hands on this number. Sanju can bat at any position from number 1 to number 7.
India’s probable XI against South Africa: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sai Sudarshan, Sanju Samson, KL Rahul (capt), Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
