Key Points

India's young guns will be in the spotlight as the three-match ODI series against South Africa starts today at Wanderers, Johannesburg..

With emerging talents such as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Rajat Patidar, Rinku Singh and Sai Sudharsan in the squad..

While players like Rahul, Gaikwad, and Shreyas Iyer have already showcased their skills, others like Rinku Singh, Rajat Patidar, and Sai Sudarshan will be eager to prove themselves and secure a place in India's white ball scheme of things...

India will rely on bowlers like Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar, and Arshdeep Singh to lead the pace department in the absence of senior pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj..

But the Wanderers surface showed a rather unexpected leaning towards spin in the third T20I on Thursday and India have Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal in the ranks..
