He did hurt either his back or his oblique muscle while playing an expansive shot last match.
yesterday they mentioned he is out of series to prepare test series.If he is hurt , I don't mind.its time to get a player who can play on all sort of wickets
 
South Africa have won the toss and decided to bowl first.

India loses its first wicket. Gaikwad gone. India 4/1 after first over against South Africa.
 
Another wicket falls for India. India 48/2 after 12 overs. Need some rebuilding here from the Indian batters.
 
More ICC events should be given to RSA. The interest for white ball cricket among locals there is better than other SENA countries.
 
30 runs here in these conditions is equivalent to 100 in some other parts. Ball is doing all sorts of things.
 
I feel Tilak is a T20 player only and struggles when the ball is nipping around. At this point Tilak should stick to T20’s.

Gaikwad is a younger version of Rahane.

Sai Sudarshan is showing his class again on a difficult pitch.
 
Am really disappointed at kl selfishness. After all the fiasco in wc finals,he still prefers runs at his own pace.He doesn't even show intent .I don't know how he wants to survive in middle order like this while facingstiff competition from pant and others.
 
Leaving out Rohit,kohli from this team, Jaiswal,Gill ,Sai will be the front runners for top 3 positions. pant and Hardik at 4,5.Only 6 is up for the grabs.Any versatile player whoncan bata anywhere in middle order will have an advantage.
 
Fifty for Sai Sudharsan on a tough pitch where two ipl bullies struggle and mr kl rahul doing what he do tuk tuk
 
A decent recovery by team India. India now 109/2 after 24 overs. Sudharsan and KL still on crease.
 
For all the hate that KL receives, we can clearly see the class difference between the newbies and KL. Newbie middle order hopefuls are not up to the KL Rahul level to take his place.

As of now, Sai Sudarshan, Jaiswal and Rinku are the only 3 strong contenders for the T20 WC. Tilak Varma will miss out definitely.

No All rounders tried. The likes of Dubey, Venkatesh Iyer should have been tested. With Pandya being injury prone and a long tail, it was important to try a few all rounders. But as usual, coach and selectors are in no hurry.
 
India 204/9 after 45 overs. India in deep trouble in this match. Need solid bowling like 1st ODI to turn things around.

I think they should bowl jaiswal a bit more as he is sure spot now.Sai sudarshan can bowl leg spin .Sai can bat at 3 and sky at 4.Hardik ,Jaiswal and sai can bowl 4 overs .

They have to bowl. Even Aiden Markram bowls for SA. You cannot have too many 1 trick ponies.
 
India gets bowled out for 211. South Africa now needs to chase down a target of 212 in their quota of 50 overs.
 
Very impressed with Indian selectors. KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav, only 2 players were part of the World Cup ODI squad. Nice rotation policy.

I suspect South Africa will huff and puff to chase this score down as they have been doing historically.
 
Mukesh kumar one of the worst bowler recently played for India can't even bowl at 135
 
Ishan Kishan is getting a rough deal from selectors. He is not even part of the ODI squad.

Washington Sundar still riding the bench. The only genuine all rounder in the squad. Axar is more of a Test match all rounder in Subcontinent conditions. Sundar has more upside.
 
South Africa 47/0 after 12 overs. A decent start by them. Just a steady performance by them can steer them home.

Ishan Kishan needs rest after carrying drinks the whole of the world cup. :snack:
 
SUrprised to see Saffers doin it so easily 56-0 (14)

If they play out Kuldeep they can win easily
 
Looks like 3rd odi won't be dead rubber South Africa likely win this match
 
Strong reply SA

IND 211 (46.2)
RSA 78/0 (18.1) CRR: 4.29 REQ: 4.21
South Africa need 134 runs
 
Mukesh Kumar reminds me of our legendary ex bowler Dodda Ganesh.

Great find for team India.
 
an easy win is on the cards for South Africa.

They need just 28 runs of 80 balls.

This was easily a 300+ wicket.
 
Left-handed opener Tony de Zorzi scored a career-best unbeaten 119 from 122 balls to lead South Africa to an emphatic eight-wicket win over India in the second One-Day International at St George’s Park on Tuesday and level the three-match series at 1-1.

South Africa won the toss and sent India into bat, restricting the visitors to 211 all out in 46.2 overs on a wicket that was not easy to score on.

They chased down their target with 45 deliveries remaining to set up a series decider in Paarl on Thursday.

De Zorzi, 26, playing in his fourth ODI and a replacement for Quinton de Kock at the top of the order, started cautiously before taking the attack to the tourists as he put on 130 for the first wicket with Reeza Hendricks, who scored a more sedate 52 from 81 balls.

The rate accelerated in a second wicket stand of 76 with Rassie van der Dussen (36) as India’s bowling attack failed to apply the same pressure with the ball as their hosts.

India had skittled South Africa for 116 in the first game of the series in Johannesburg on Sunday, the latter’s lowest ever score on home soil, as the visitors won comfortably by eight wickets.

They looked set for a competitive total in Gqeberha when they reached 114 for two, but lost their last eight wickets for the addition of 97 runs as South Africa put the squeeze on the scoring rate.

Seamer Nandre Burger took 3-30 in 10 overs, with Beuran Hendricks (2-34), in the side for the injured all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo, also among the wickets in his first ODI since April 2021.

India opening batter Sai Sudharsan followed up his unbeaten half-century on debut with a fluent 62 from 83 balls, while captain KL Rahul scored 56 from 64 balls. They were the only two innings of any substance.

I don't see the purpose of Mukesh Kumar. He is same as Vinay Kumar. Medium pacer with no specific skills. Why not try a proper pacer instead of wasting time on these good for nothing trundlers? Of course it is BCCI. They think trundlers are the future.

Only Dravid thinks this way....he loves trundlers. This is basically Rahul Dravid's team who not only loves medium pacers but heavily biased towards players from his own state like KL Rahul, Prasidh Krishna etc. See how he virtually ended Ishan Kishan's career and playing KL Rahul in all formats now as a wicket keeper. Why you think Jeetesh Sharma played the T20s ahead of Ishan? Is he a better player? No. It was bcoz Jeetesh will not threaten Lord Rahul's position. Come T20 WC KL will be back batting at no.5 replacing Jeetesh. All politics mate.

I don't think once pant is back,even dravid can't help kl to hold his spot him.Dravid never gives chances to players with attitude even though they are talented I believe. Bishnoi in t20s is best example. He never gets picked. Dravid thinks he is still under 19 coach
 
This is the real level of Mukesh kuldeep avesh etc.
Arshdeep seems alright
Deserved thrashing.

Lol kumar
Avesh
Kuldeep

No way. Easy peasy
 
Getting bowled out for 211 on a 270 pitch was terrible.

India can be 200/6 in 10 overs they will score only 220 odd. India's epic tail will never allow them to put a par score. India just has to hope they never ever have a middle order collapse.

Even disgusting is both axar, arshdeep got out with out thinking aboutthe runs. I don't know why avesh ,Mukesh are preferred. Any captain with brains knowing the pitch is quite slow will prefer washi in one of their place .it will strengthen the batting and exploit the sa batsmen weakness. Atleast now they should try patidar and washi .They should be done with Samson after the series .we dont need that pr guy.
 
South Africa should have ended the chase way too early than that. It was a slow chase rather than a dominating one.

Mukesh is useless bowler we know that but india team management and selectors don't know

You dont know why Axar is preferred?
Gujrat, Jay Shah, Modi factors.

In ideal world Washington Sundar should be playing.
