🏏South Africa vs India - 1st ODI - Lucknow - Today at 1:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 4

Shikhar Dhawan: We would like to field first. There is a bit of moisture on the wicket and we want to exploit that. We got 6 batters and 5 bowlers playing. Ruturaj is making his debut today. 2 spinners and 3 pacers.

India have won the toss and have opted to field

Here are the revised playing conditions: It's a 40 overs per-side contest. Maximum 8 Overs Per Bowler. Powerplay 1 - 8 overs Powerplay 2 - 24 Overs. Powerplay 3 - 8 Overs.

South Africa: 1 Malan, 2 de Kock, 3 Bavuma, 4 Markram, 5 Klaasen, 6 Miller, 7 Parnell, 8 Maharaj, 9 Rabada, 10 Ngidi, 11 Shamsi

Temba Bavuma: We would have liked to bowl first as well. We have a job to do with the bat and we need to adapt accordingly after the first few overs. You gotta be able to adapt to different formats quickly and we still want to keep those T20 skills in check. Every game for us is a big opportunity. Malan is back at the top, Klaasen is back in the middle and also Shamsi is back.

India: 1 Shikhar Dhawan (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 4 Ishan Kishan, 5 Sanju Samson (wk), 6 Shreyas Iyer, 7 Kuldeep Yadav, 8 Ravi Bishnoi, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Avesh Khan, 11 Mohammed Siraj

Meanwhile, Dwaine Pretorius has been ruled out of the ODIs against India and the T20 World Cup due to a fracture of his left thumb, which he sustained during the third T20I. Marco Jansen has been added as his replacement for the India series, with no decision yet on the T20 World Cup.

Hope rain stays away and we get all the 80 overs. Just about five minutes away from live action. Things seem to have brightened up. The crowd has turned up in good numbers despite all the wait.

Avinav: "I feel for Deepak Chahar. With one slot opened for a fast bowler, Deepak would have hoped he would get a chance to play being a reserve and making his case."

BCCI kilo ke hisaab se sawdust kharidti hai yaa apni sawdust produce karne ki factory lagwaayi hai😕

Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan, the two South Africa openers, walk out to the middle.

The two umpires walk out to the middle. Ruturaj Gaikwad was handed his ODI cap by Shikhar Dhawan as they get into a huddle. Much love for Ravi Bishnoi as well, who also makes his ODI debut.
