South Africa, however, have been forced to make a couple of changes. Khaya Zondo has been handed an ODI debut, coming in place of injured Faf du Plessis while left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi was named in place of all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo.

India have never won an ODI series in South Africa, but they started the series on a good note as they thrashed the hosts by six-wickets to end the latter's 17-match winning streak at home. Also, the Kohli-led side have not lost a single series in this format in the past two years, which might also serve as motivation for them.
