The All India Men's Senior Selection Committee has declared India's squad for the upcoming three-match One-Day International series against South Africa. KL Rahul has been named as the captain, while Ruturaj Gaikwad has replaced the injured captain Shubman Gill in the 15-member squad. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have headlined the batting unit for the upcoming series.
This clarifies that Shubman Gill is not completely fit to take part in the 50-over leg, after missing out in the Guwahati Test as well. He had suffered a neck spasm during the first Test in Kolkata that ruled him out to take any further part in the match. After being hospitalized, the BCCI has now confirmed that Gill will not participate in the ODIs, although an update on the T20I squad is currently awaited.
India: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Tilak Varma, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Dhruv Jurel
