One day matches between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) start from today. Both teams will meet at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The India team will play an ODI match for the first time at this stadium. Command of Team India for this ODI series is in the hands of Shikhar Dhawan. The entire India squad will be changed here. Only 2-3 players from the recently concluded T20 series are part of this team. On the other hand, South Africa will enter the ODI series with the same team with which it has contested the T20 series.
In the absence of the older players from the India team, there will be a good chance for the young players in this series. Rahul Tripathi, who has been performing well in IPL for a long time, may get a chance to make his international debut this time. This will also be an important series for Mohammad Siraj and Deepak Chahar. By performing well in this series, these two players can claim to replace Bumrah in Team India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Three ODIs have been played at Ekana Stadium so far, which have been played between Afghanistan and the West Indies. No runs could be scored in these three games. However, there has been a good rain of runs in recent T20 matches here. In such a situation, it is possible that good streaks could rain down in today’s ODI.
Currently, it is raining in Lucknow. Today there are also many chances of rain during the game. In such a situation, the audience may have to come back here disappointed.
