KL Rahul To Captain India In ODIs Against South Africa, Pant, Jadeja, Gaikwad Return
With Jasprit Bumrah: Senior wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has been named captain of India’s ODI squad for the upcoming three-game series against South Africa, starting on November 30. The series will also see the return of Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad into the 50-over set-up.
IANS had previously reported on Sunday that due to Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer unavailable due to neck and spleen injuries respectively and recuperating under specialists’ care in Mumbai the leadership duties toss-up was between Rahul and Pant.
IANS understands that Rahul being a first-choice player in the ODIs meant he got the nod to be India’s captain for the series against the Proteas ahead of Pant, who’s leading India in the ongoing second Test in Guwahati. Rahul has captained India 12 times in ODIs from 2022 to 2023. He was also the captain when India beat South Africa in the 50-over series by 2-1 in 2023.
