Team India will begin their limited-overs campaign with a three-match ODI series against the Proteas, starting Sunday. The matches will take place in Ranchi, Raipur, and Visakhapatnam, with South African captain Temba Bavuma aiming for supremacy in the 50-over format. Due to injuries to both regular captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul has been named the stand-in captain for the series. Iyer is recovering from an abdominal injury suffered during the Australian tour, while Gill is making a speedy recovery after a neck injury he picked up in the opening Test against South Africa. Veteran players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to be part of the playing XI.
