South Africa’s middle order remained the same as in the World Cup, but the bowling attack featured changes as the main bowlers prepared for the Tests against India. They also introduced new openers: Tony de Zorzi for Quinton de Kock, who has retired from ODIs, and Reeza Hendricks for the rested Temba Bavuma.
India’s XI looked quite different from the side that played the World Cup final last month. Their key players were either rested or preparing for the Test matches. KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav were the only two players in this XI who played in the World Cup final.
South Africa 1 Tony de Zorzi, 2 Reeza Hendricks, 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 Aiden Markram (capt.), 5 Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 6 David Miller, 7 Wiaan Mulder, 8 Andile Phehlukwayo, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Nandre Burger, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi
India 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 2 Sai Sudharsan, 3 Sanju Samson, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (capt. & wk), 6 Tilak Varma, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Arshdeep Singh, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Mukesh Kumar
