Tomorrow, the second ODI between India and South Africa will be played, know from pitch report to Playing 11

South Africa vs India 2nd ODI: After losing the first ODI by 31 runs, Team India will have to win the second ODI at any cost to stay in the series. At the same time, the eyes of the host team will be on winning the second match and winning the series. The second ODI between India and South Africa will be played tomorrow at Boland Park, Paarl. The hosts are leading 1-0 in the three-match series.

Rahul failed as captain in the first match and now that he is being included in the contenders for Test captaincy. In such a situation, a lot is at stake for him in this series. Indian batsmen also performed disappointingly in the first match, due to which the team had to face defeat.

Since the time Virat Kohli was the captain, the performance of the middle order has been a matter of concern for India, the solution of which is yet to be found. Opener Shikhar Dhawan made a good comeback by scoring a half-century. He raised India’s hope with Kohli, but as soon as this partnership broke, the Indian middle order was shattered on a slow pitch.

South Africa topped India in both skill and strategy and thus Rahul disappointed as captain. The most important question is that if Venkatesh Iyer was not to bowl, then what was he doing in the team. Why was Venkatesh not used as the sixth bowler when Yuzvendra Chahal and Shardul Thakur were being dominated by Rasi van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma.

From MS Dhoni to Rohit Sharma, these cricketers did this way to propose their partner, one even got engaged in the stadium after the match

If Venkatesh is playing as a specialist batsman at No.6 then why not include Suryakumar Yadav in the playing XI who is experienced and bats better under pressure.

Another question that arises is whether Rahul spoke to Chahal or Ravichandran Ashwin when Van der Dussen and Bavuma started playing sweep shots. Rahul also did not make such changes in the bowling that it seems that he is strategically skilled. In contrast, South Africa started the bowling with Aiden Markram and he was successful in dismissing the Indian captain.
