After taking a break from the current T20I series against Australia that started just four days after the World Cup final against the same opponents, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj return to the T20I squad for South Africa.
KL Rahul to lead in ODI series
Since his return to the ODI side for the Asia Cup in September after a long injury layoff, Rahul has been a crucial middle-order batter for India mostly at No. 5. He has averaged 75.70 and struck at 92.54 in 16 innings since his return, with two centuries and four half-centuries.
Unlike for the Test and T20I squads, the BCCI release did not name a vice-captain for the ODIs.
After the ongoing five-T20I series against Australia ends on December 3, India have only six more T20Is scheduled as of now before next year’s T20 World Cup, apart from IPL 2024. They play three matches in South Africa on December 10, 12 and 14, and then host Afghanistan for three matches in January next year.
