Both India and South Africa come into the One-Day International (ODI) series with some rebuilding to do. And thus to begin with, we might actually have no favourites here. KL Rahul is in charge of team India, which features Virat Kohli as well. After Rohit Sharma, the newly appointed captain, was ruled out of the series, selectors have handed responsibility to Rahul.

Both India and South Africa will have to do some home work to finalise their respective playing XIs. India are thinking of handing an ODI debut to all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer and it will be interesting to see if he finds a place in the side. If he does, it is more likely that the Men in Blue will not include Suryakumar Yadav.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be boosted by the return of wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock at the top. All-rounder Wayne Parnell is also making a comeback and whether he gets a game straightaway or not is what remains to be seen.
