India vs South Africa 1st ODI playing 11 prediction: India are likely to bench Pant, as KL Rahul can be seen pulling off double duty as skipper and wicketkeeper

India look to resolve key selection puzzles as they take on South Africa today in the first ODI at Ranchi, where Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return for a short yet significant audition that could shape their 2027 World Cup future. SA skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bowl first on the day.  With only six ODIs in the next two months, every innings matters for the two icons who now operate in a single format.

 

The venue carries symbolism for Rohit, who was backed as a full-time opener here in 2013. A decade later, he returns seeking another phase of renewal. India enter the series without Bumrah, Siraj, Gill and Iyer, leaving KL Rahul and coach Gautam Gambhir with both opportunities and challenges.

 

South Africa, buoyed by their Test-series triumph, will rely on emerging pacers Gerald Coetzee and Nandre Burger, while Keshav Maharaj anchors their spin threat. With confidence flowing, the visitors remain a dangerous white-ball unit.
