Pick of the tweets: India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI at Indore
If India can stage a comeback in the series then Holkar Stadium at Indore has to be the venue. India, who usually don’t find themselves in such positions i.e. losing all three of their home matches in a tour, have won all their three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in Indore. While India will look forward to stage a comeback, South Africa will seek to continue building on the momentum. [Live streaming: India vs South Africa, 2nd ODI at Indore]
India, especially the captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, received a lot of criticism for the Kanpur defeat. They will be further handicapped with the absence of their best bowler Ravichandran Ashwin. Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has been called in for replacement, is set to play in this game but India have pulled off a surprise here by dropping Amit Mishra who bowled quite well in the last game. Mishra, Stuart Binny and Ashwin have been replaced by Axar Patel, Mohit Sharma and Harbhajan. India has won the toss and opted to bat first. Here are the playing XIs of both the teams:
India
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Axar Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav
South Africa
Quinton de Kock, Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, David Miller, Farhan Behardien, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Kagiso Rabada and Imran Tahir.
