India vs South Africa ODI Series Dates, timings, venues, tickets: The Indian cricket team is gearing up for a crucial three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting November 30, 2025. The white-ball leg brings massive excitement as the iconic duo Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli make their much-awaited comeback to the ODI setup after a break, adding strength and experience to India’s batting lineup.
India Eye Strong Comeback After Test Setback
With regular opener Shubman Gill ruled out due to a neck injury, KL Rahul has been handed the responsibility to captain the Men in Blue. On the other hand, Temba Bavuma will be returning to lead South Africa’s ODI squad after an extended absence, bringing stability back to their top order.
Following a disappointing Test whitewash earlier in the tour, India will be determined to bounce back and assert dominance against a side they recently overcame in the dramatic ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2025 final.
