After a historic T20I series win, India would be gearing up and aiming to repeat the same feat when they take on South Africa in three ODIs, the first of which starts on October 6. The Men in Blue, who pulled off their first-ever T20I series win over South Africa at home, lost the third match a day ago by 49 runs. While the players, who would represent the country at the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia this month would not be part of the series, it is time for the young guns to step up and make a mark in the three matches. Shikhar Dhawan would lead the Indian team, which would have some exciting names like Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi amongst others. IND vs SA 3rd T20I Stat Highlights: Rilee Rossouw Shines With Century in Dominant South Africa Win

South Africa on the other hand, will be led by Temba Bavuma, who had a forgettable time with the bat in the T20I series. This would be an opportunity for him to step up and get some runs ahead of the T20 World Cup. He would have the services of Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Kagiso Rabada among the big names and South Africa would feel that they can dominate the hosts.
