Fans are eager to see if the “Ro‑Ko juggernaut” can continue its dominance. Alongside them, youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad will be keen to make their mark after modest returns in the opening fixture.
On the bowling front, India’s attack led by Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Prasidh Krishna will look to replicate their success in Raipur, where pacers previously dismantled New Zealand for just 118 runs.
The team management may also experiment with the batting order, possibly swapping Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja to strengthen the middle order.
Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock return.
South Africa, meanwhile, will be bolstered by the return of captain Temba Bavuma and wicketkeeper‑batsman Quinton de Kock.
Their inclusion adds depth to a lineup featuring Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, and Marco Jansen. The Proteas showed resilience in the first ODI, nearly chasing down 350 before faltering in the final overs.
With Keshav Maharaj likely to replace Prenelan Subrayen, South Africa’s bowling attack gains experience and variety.
Temba Bavuma is optimistic on facing Rohit and Kohli, he said, “Nothing new, we have come across it. We have been on the bad end of it. But we have also had good times against them. It all just makes the series a lot more exciting”.
