India vs South Africa ODIs full schedule, squads, live time and streaming

India’s preparations for the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa have taken an unexpected turn, with the BCCI announcing a significantly reshaped squad following the conclusion of the ongoing final Test. The series, beginning on November 30, comes at a time when India are dealing with key injury setbacks at the top of their white-ball setup. 

 

Newly appointed ODI captain Shubman Gill, who was slated to lead the side for the first time in the format, has been ruled out after injuring his neck during the first Test in Kolkata. Vice-captain Shreyas Iyer also continues his recovery from the injury he suffered on India’s tour of Australia, leaving the leadership group temporarily depleted.

 

In their absence, the responsibility of leading the team returns to KL Rahul, who last captained India in the 2023 ODI series against South Africa, a contest India won 2–1. Rahul’s calm authority and experience make him a natural fit to guide a side undergoing mid-tour adjustments. The squad also marks the welcome return of Rishabh Pant, who steps back into the ODI setup as vice-captain, adding flair and stability to the middle order. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad earns a place in the squad, offering fresh energy and depth to India’s top-order options.
