South Africa Playing XI updates for IND vs SA 2nd ODI

The South African side has introduced some of the major changes to their IND vs SA 2nd ODI playing XI and has called Lungi Ngidi, WTC champion, to counter the strong Indian side. Three changes were made by visitors for the Raipur Test, as Temba Bavuma confirmed after winning the toss, “me, Keshav, and Ngidi come in.” Temba Bavuma returned to the squad after missing the first ODI due to illness; his presence will help the team with better batting stability in the top order. Alongside him, left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj has also returned and would look to stabilize the middle order. In addition to these two expected comebacks, one of the major changes that SA announced was the comeback of their WTC champion, Lungi Ngidi. His inclusion is expected to counter India’s top order and strengthen their fast-bowling group as he has all the skills to become one of the best South African bowler.
With these changes being introduced, Ryan Rickelton, Prenalan Subrayen, and Ottnei Baartman have been left out of the South Africa Playing XI for the 2nd ODI. De Kock continued as a wicketkeeper and will aim to provide a good start with the return of the skipper. India, on the other hand, opted for their winning squad from the previous game.
South Africa Playing XI: Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma(c), Matthew Breetzke, Tony de Zorzi, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi.
