Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson will make a return to the side after a long break. The home team has given rest to Temba Bavuma, hence Aiden Markram will continue to lead the side.

SA vs IND 1st ODI: Pitch Report

The surface at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg generally favoured the batters and pacers. However, this is the same venue where the two teams met in the final T20I on Thursday, and South Africa batters were seen struggling against spinners. While fast bowlers can get swing and bouncers, it helps batters play their natural game if they show some patience. Historically, the team chasing has the advantage of 30-23 in the venue. The average first innings score here is 241.
