India vs South Africa 2nd ODI Playing 11, Squad: IND likely to field unchanged side; Temba Bavuma returns for SA

India vs South Africa 2nd ODI Match Playing 11, Full Squad: With a chance to seal the series against the Proteas on Wednesday at Raipur, India are not expected to tinker with a winning combination which got them home in the 1st ODI on Sunday.

If they do make a change though, it might be a toss up between Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy but that will also depend on the dew factor. If India bowl in the second innings and the ball becomes difficult to grip, a seaming allrounder might be India’s go-to option instead of a spinner allrounder. But with the unpredictability of the toss, India might as well go with an unchanged side.

Meanwhile, South Africa are likely to make a change with Temba Bavuma coming back into the team after sitting out the 1st match. That means Ryan Rickelton might miss out and Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram are likely to open. Another change they might make is replacing Prenelan Subrayen with the experienced Keshav Maharaj.

India: Yashavi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Washington Sundar/Nitish Reddy, KL Rahul (C & WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna
