India take on South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday, January 19. The match would be played at the Boland Park in Paarl and is scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm IST. India, after a good start to the tour, lost the second and third Tests to concede the series 2-1 and they would be more than willing to gain a measure of redemption on the hosts in the 50-over format. Under new leadership, the Indian team would have a lot of new faces who would be eager on making a mark in the series. With skipper KL Rahul confirming that he would be opening the innings, it is highly likely that Shikhar Dhawan gets to return to the side. Also, Rahul hinted that Venkatesh Iyer can potentially make his ODI debut as a bowling all-rounder. A lot of focus would also be on Virat Kohli, who relinquished Test captaincy in a sudden development few days ago and his performance as a pure batsman is something all fans are looking forward to, in this series.

South Africa too would have some new faces in the squad with the likes of Quinton de Kock returning and Dwaine Pretorius and also Tabriaz Shamsi being part of the squad. Temba Bavuma, the captain, would want to carry on the momentum from the successful Test series into the ODIs and nothing less than a win is what they would aim for.
