India Squads for South Africa ODIs, T20Is LIVE: Amid the ongoing Test series against South Africa, the BCCI is all set announced the white-ball squads against the Proteas, starting on November 30. After the two-match Test series ends, India and South Africa will engage in three ODIs and five T20Is.

The ODI series will see the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma on home soil for the first time since February-March when India hosted England. Meanwhile, the focus will be on ODI captaincy after Shubman Gill is unlikely to be available for the entire white-ball series following a neck injury, that he suffered during the first Test in Kolkata.

India Squads for South Africa ODIs, T20Is LIVE: Who will lead India in ODIs?

With no Shubman Gill, there are a few captaincy options for India in ODIs - Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul. While Iyer is out for two months for a rib cage injury in Australia, lack of ODI game time in the past one year puts Pant out of consideration. That brings Rahul as the first-choice option for this role, who will also double up as a wicketkeeper.
