Dale Steyn Picks His IND-SA Combine XI Ahead Of ODI Series Opener
JSCA International Stadium Complex: Former South African quick Dale Steyn picked a combined playing XI ahead of the first ODI of the three-match series between India and South Africa, which will be played on Sunday at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. The Proteas legend acknowledged that picking an XI from the two teams was a ‘tricky’ task and that both sides had ‘lots of fantastic players’.
India and South Africa concluded their two-match Test series recently and will now square off in three ODIs, followed by a five-game T20I series in the build-up to the T20 World Cup 2026.
In a video shared by StarSports on X, Steyn named a sharp and competitive combined XI when asked to pick a team, as he said, “If I had to combine the two teams, it’s a tricky one, lots of fantastic players and surely someone’s going to miss out but it’d be Rohit to open the batting with Quinton de Kock, Virat at three, Tilak Varma at four, KL Rahul at five, Brevis six, Jadeja, Jansen, Kuldeep, Arshdeep, and Lungi Ngidi.”
