The selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar will meet on Sunday in Mumbai to pick the Indian squad for the IND vs SA ODIs

The squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series between India and South Africa will be picked by the selectors on Sunday. The IND vs SA ODIs are scheduled to commence from November 30 onwards, shortly after the conclusion of the Test series. Earlier, it was reported that the selection committee will meet in Guwahati and will pick the team after the end of play on Day 2 of the IND vs SA 2nd Test.

However, as per IANS, the selectors led by chief selector Ajit Agarkar will instead meet in Mumbai on Sunday to decide on the squad for the ODI series. With regular captain Shubman Gill all but confirmed to miss the series, reports have claimed KL Rahul is the frontrunner to take over the reins of the team for the series. Shreyas Iyer, the ODI vice-captain, is also set to miss the series. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya is expected to return to the line-up, having recovered from his injury.

Opening question looms

23/11/2025 20:29

Rishabh Pant short-term solution?

23/11/2025 20:04

IS Pandya injured?

23/11/2025 19:24

Rahul's captaincy to be seen in isolation

23/11/2025 18:42

"Rahul's captaincy is one off and should be seen in isolation. Rishabh (Pant) wasn't considered as he has played only one ODI game in the last one year. The selectors expect that Shubman Gill's neck injury will heal and he will be back against New Zealand (3 ODIs in January 2026), a BCCI selector said.

Shubman Gill fitness!

23/11/2025 18:22

Maybe the reason BCCI didn't come up with the squad is, they want to wait and see if Gill gets fit in time for the series or not. That could be the only deciding factor.

What about T20I squad?

23/11/2025 18:19

There hasn't been any announcement till now, which only means that the T20I squad would be out on a later date.

Why no Sanju?

23/11/2025 17:58

AXAR & Siraj axed

23/11/2025 17:43

And for no apparent reason, the likes of Axar Patel and Siraj have been excluded from the team. Why Prasidh Krishna and why Jadeja? The latter was not there in Australia ODIs.

How would you rate it?

THE India ODI squad is out and KL Rahul has been named the skipper. Rishabh Pant makes a comeback

Predicted IND ODI squad

23/11/2025 17:09

Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul (c & wk), Rishabh Pant (wk), Tilak Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (vc), Shivam Dube/Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj

Who in place of Shreyas Iyer?

23/11/2025 16:59

Since Shreyas Iyer is out due to an injury, who comes in his place? We think it is going to be Ruturaj Gaikwad, since he did exceltionally well in the IND A vs SA A series with a ton and a fifty. He had great numbers in Ranji as well.

Yashasvi Jaiswal in?

23/11/2025 16:54

Another question is, if Yashasvi Jaiswal would finally get the nod, and get to play in the white-ball formats. The kid has been waiting for his turn, for a long time now.

KL Rahul or Rohit Sharma

23/11/2025 16:43

So, if Shubman won't be there, who will lead in ODIs? Will it be KL Rahul or previous skipper Rohit Sharma? Or, Rishabh Pant comes back in the ODI setup as a captain?

No Shubman Gill for ODIs

23/11/2025 16:40

Various reports have already claimed that skipper Shubman Gill won't be part of the ODIs, starting November 30, but will be there for the T20Is, which begin December 9. Clarity awaited on that.
