South Africa: Janneman Malan, Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Keshav Maharaj(c), Bjorn Fortuin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Two changes for Team India

India make two changes to their playing XI. Washington Sundar and Shahbaz Ahmed are playing this game for the hosts. 

South Africa win toss

South Africa’s stand-in skipper Keshav Maharaj wins the toss, opts to bat vs India in the second ODI 

Shahbaz Ahmed makes debut

Shahbaz Ahmed gets his maiden ODI cap and he will be making his ODI debut for Team India 

Will Rajat Patidar get a chance?

It would be interesting to see if Rajat Patidar makes his debut in the second ODI. Ruturaj Gaikwad looked completely at sea in the first ODI, scoring 19 off 42 balls. So one needs to wait and see if Patidar replaces Gaikwad for this all important match 

Deepak Chahar ruled out of ODI series

Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series and he is back at the National Cricket Academy. Washington Sundar has been named as his replacement

What would be India’s ideal playing XI?

In the first ODI, the bowlers were unable to rise to the challenge so it needs to be seen whether the hosts make any changes to their playing XI
