India Predicted XI vs South Africa 3rd ODI: KL Rahul likely to make multiple changes in dead rubber
As they stare at an embarrassing sweep on South African soil, India will be looking to make corrections in both divisions and change the starting 11 with multiple changes in their third and final ODI in Cape Town. Under KL Rahul, India’s bowling team looked out of sync, failing to pick up wickets in crucial moments and failing to maintain momentum in midfield. In the first two overs, the bowlers managed to pick seven wickets with seasoned picks such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar Kumar looking toothless against opponents. Ashwin has so far failed to make an impact, which could allow management to test someone like Jayant Yadav in the final. The 32-year-old Yadav’s only 50 for India was at home against New Zealand in 2016. The head coach also has a wealth of speed bowling resources. Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini and Deepak Chahar have been waiting for their first match of the series and the Cape Town race could open the door for the speed trio. Prasidh Krishna is also a convenient but relatively inexperienced option. It remains to be seen whether the change in team management strategy will result in a major change in Eleven bowling. While the dull bowling camp needs some adjustment, India’s middle class also needs a shakeup. Skipper KL Rahul’s experience in South Africa might be called anti-climate as he starts the Test series with a hundred. His long-term future as a leader is at stake, and he could potentially return to the middle class. Virat Kohli may have scored 51 points in Game 1, but it was evident his lack of energy on the field after leaving the ODI leadership.
The two Iyers – Shreyas and Venkatesh – have also failed to make significant contributions so far, adding to India’s middling woes, which have been the team’s Achilles heel since the 2019 ODI World Cup.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
