India vs South Africa ODI Series: In the case of Shubman Gill’s injury and the absence of vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, who will captain India’s team in the three-match ODI series against South Africa? Rohit-Kohli are also returning in this series.
Indian Team New Captain: A big news has come out in Indian cricket. Due to neck injury of Shubman Gill, the Indian team led by KL Rahul can play a three-match ODI series against South Africa. The first match of this series will be played in Ranchi on 30 November. After this, matches will be held in Raipur (3 December) and Vizag (6 December).
Captaincy changed due to Shubman Gill’s injury
Shubman Gill, currently the ODI captain of India, got injured on the second day of the first Test in Kolkata. The injury was so serious that he faced just three balls in the first innings and then retired. Gill was immediately taken to the hospital and is now kept in Mumbai for further investigation. Due to injury, Gill is not fully fit yet, so he will not be available in the ODI series.
Shreyas Iyer also out
India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer will also not be able to play in this series due to injury. Iyer was injured in the third ODI against Australia. According to reports, in such a situation, the responsibility of captaining the team may now fall in the hands of KL Rahul. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will also play in this series. His arrival will increase the strength of the team and this series will become even more exciting for the fans.

KL Rahul has made a great record in ODI cricket. He has 3092 runs in 88 matches. He has scored these runs at an average of 48.31 and strike rate of 88.41. Which includes 7 centuries and 18 half-centuries. Recently, in the series against Australia, Rahul scored 49 runs in two innings.
