Yashasvi Jaiswal
In the absence of Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal can be seen opening with Rohit Sharma. This player has hoisted his flag in Test cricket. Haven’t got a chance to play much in ODI cricket, but now South Africa has a big opportunity. Yashasvi is a batsman who has expertise in playing long innings. This is the reason why he has made many records in Tests. Apart from this, only 1 half-century has come in 4 innings in the Test series against South Africa, which can be avenged in ODIs. If the bat of this young left-handed batsman swings, Africa will be brought to its knees.
Rohit Sharma
Although the record of hitman Rohit Sharma is nothing special in the ODI against South Africa. In 26 ODI matches, he has scored 806 runs in 25 innings at an average of 33.58, but in the World Cup 2019, he played a brilliant century. Apart from this, he is in excellent form at the moment. Scored a brilliant century in the last ODI on Australia tour and led Team India to victory. Before that, he had played a half-century innings in ODI also. In such a situation, if his bat is used against Africa, he is adept at playing big innings. Scoring a double century is not a difficult task for him, because he has scored 3 before, which no other batsman has done till now.
