DRINKS BREAK! With the fall of the 4th wicket, the umpires have called for a hydration break. It was turning out to be a good recovery for South Africa after being rocked early.

Pitched up, at the sticks, Yashasvi clips it neatly but can't beat the mid-wicket fielder.

FOUR BYES! Oh, that kept rising! Jansen bends his back and digs it in short again, outside off. Jaiswal lets it be. The ball sails over the leaping Quinton de Kock and goes fine of the man at a fine deep third for four more.

FOUR! Yashasvi Jaiswal and India are up and running! Jansen bashes the hard length but bowls it a bit too wide on off. Jaiswal hops and reaches out. Flays it to the left of the man at deep backward point for a boundary.

The stage is set for the game to begin as Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India's new opening pair, take on Marco Jansen's left-arm seam. The crowd is buzzing with excitement, and the atmosphere is electric. The big question is how well they'll handle the left-arm threat. Yashasvi Jaiswal has struggled against left-arm pacers in the past, making this a crucial test for the young opener. Rohit Sharma's experience will be vital in guiding Jaiswal through this challenging phase. Let's see how they fare against Jansen's pace first up.

The pre-match formalities are underway, with the umpires leading the way as both teams stand at attention. The national anthems are about to be played, with South Africa's first, followed by India's.

South Africa (Playing XI) - Aiden Markram (C), Ryan Rickelton, Quinton de Kock (WK), Matthew Breetzke, Tony de Zorzi, Dewald Brevis, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Prenelan Subrayen, Nandre Burger, and Ottneil Baartman.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul (C/WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Prasidh Krishna.

KL Rahul, the Indian skipper, highlighted the team's strategy for the ODI series against South Africa, citing the dew factor in Ranchi as a factor in their bowling approach. He praised the team's preparation, citing the experience brought by new faces in the squad, and emphasized the focus on jelling well as a unit for the ODI World Cup. Rahul revealed India's lineup, featuring Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers, Washington Sundar in the middle order, and a balanced bowling attack with 3 seamers and 3 spinners.

The stand-in captain of South Africa, Aiden Markram, says they have chosen to bowl first. Having spent a couple of evenings here, he mentions that there has been noticeable dew, and the stats also suggest that batting becomes easier in the evening. He adds that while the personnel in the squad are slightly different from the Test series, the dressing room remains a great space to be in. Markram calls it an important series for them and hopes they can get off to a good start. Further says that there is still some time before the ODI World Cup, but he notes that it is always exciting to test themselves against a quality side like India, especially in Indian conditions. Informs that Keshav Maharaj and Temba Bavuma have been rested for this game. They are going in with four seamers, with Markram himself and Prenelan Subrayen taking up the spin responsibilities.

TOSS - Up goes the flip of the coin and Aiden Markram calls it correctly. South Africa will BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta points out that this is a fairly biggish venue, with boundaries measuring around 67 metres and 65 metres square of the wicket, and about 75 metres down the ground. He also informs that the pitch is being used in international cricket for the first time since it was relaid in 2023. Shaun Pollock adds that the surface looks really good. He observes a few cracks, but feels there is enough grass cover to hold it together. He mentions that when you go down and knock on it, it feels really hard, which suggests it should play nicely. Whether it begins to crumble later remains to be seen. Deep further explains that this is a black-soil surface, which could offer more bounce than what we have seen here before. Believes that dew will be an important factor as well. Pollock agrees with Deep that chasing makes more sense on this ground.

With both sides eager to stamp their authority in the 50-over format and South Africa holding a slight historical edge in the head-to-head record, the opening encounter in Ranchi promises a tightly contested, high-stakes battle to set the tone for the three-match series. Stay tuned for the toss and team sheets.

South Africa, however, arrive with confidence sky-high, having dismantled India in the preceding Test series. Led by Temba Bavuma, the Proteas have a full-strength ODI squad featuring the explosive Quinton de Kock, who returns to the limited-overs setup. Their batting line-up, bolstered by the presence of Aiden Markram and rising stars like Dewald Brevis, poses a significant threat. Their pace attack, featuring Lungi Ngidi and the all-round threat of Marco Jansen, will look to exploit any lingering fragility in the Indian top-order.

The onus will be on stand-in skipper KL Rahul, taking the reins in the absence of the injured Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, to galvanize a side bruised from the longer format. The squad features a blend of established stars and young talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma, with their performance in this series being a strong indicator of India's bench strength and preparation for future global events. The bowling attack, without Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, will rely on the young pace duo of Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, supported by the control and wicket-taking ability of the spin twins, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Ranchi’s pitch, known for favoring a balanced contest but becoming slower as the game progresses, suggests the spin contingent will be vital. 

Hello, and a warm welcome to one and all! The three-match ODI series between India and South Africa kicks off with the 1st ODI in Ranchi, marking a crucial format shift for the hosts following a humbling 2-0 Test series whitewash. For India, this series is all about a much-needed reset, bringing back the veteran white-ball core of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who last played an ODI on home soil during the 2023 World Cup. As for the Proteas, it is another great opportunity for them to challenge themselves against arguably the best white-ball outfit in the world.

... MATCH DAY ...

After what proved to be a historic Test series, the focus now shifts to the white ball leg of South Africa’s tour of India. First up are the three ODIs, followed by a five-match T20I series. The ODI leg will begin at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, before moving to Raipur and finally Vizag. India were thoroughly outplayed in the Test series, and they will look to move past that disappointment. Their last ODI assignment saw them lose in Australia, which was Shubman Gill's first since being appointed as the full-time skipper. The hosts, however, will be without Gill this time as he continues to recover from the neck sprain he suffered during the first Test in Kolkata. In his absence, KL Rahul will lead a side that features a blend of youth and experience. Along with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant return to the squad after missing the Australia series. Gill’s absence leaves one of the opening slots vacant, with Yashasvi Jaiswal the likely candidate to partner Rohit at the top. Ruturaj Gaikwad has also earned a recall after his strong performances for India A against South Africa A. While Gaikwad’s usual position is as an opener, nothing is set in stone with this Indian team, and a middle order role cannot be ruled out. Shreyas Iyer, who suffered a spleen laceration during the Australia series, remains unavailable. His absence has opened the door for Tilak Varma and Dhruv Jurel, although Pant and Rahul are expected to be the certainties in the middle order. Among the all rounders, Jadeja is joined by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar, while Kuldeep Yadav is the lone specialist spinner in the squad. With Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj rested, the pace bowling duties will fall on the shoulders of Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana. As far as South Africa are concerned, they come into this series riding high on confidence after winning their first Test series in India in 25 long years. Their last ODI assignment was in Pakistan, a series they lost with a second-string side. Before that, with a near full-strength unit, they won series in England and Australia, and they are close to full strength again for this tour of India. In the pace department, they will be without their premier fast bowler, Kagiso Rabada, who missed both Tests due to a rib bone stress injury and has not recovered in time for the white ball matches. In his absence, the responsibility will fall on Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger to step up. Jansen had a memorable Test in Guwahati and will once again look to contribute with both bat and ball, while Corbin Bosch provides another pace bowling all round option. Keshav Maharaj will lead the spin attack with Prenelan Subrayen offering an additional spin option, along with useful contributions with the bat. Quinton de Kock returned to the ODI setup during the Pakistan series and marked his comeback with two fifties and a hundred. Who partners him at the top remains to be seen, with Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton completing the top order options. Tony de Zorzi, Matthew Breetzke, and Dewald Brevis make up the middle order, while debutant Rubin Hermann adds freshness to the unit. However, when looking at the composition of the squad, South Africa do appear to lack a specialist finisher, which could be an area of concern in tight contests. With both teams missing key players yet still boasting plenty of quality, this ODI series promises to be a fascinating contest. India will look to reset after a difficult Test campaign, while South Africa arrive with momentum and renewed belief after their historic triumph. Who are you backing to land the first punch?
