Earlier, KL Rahul managed to end India's ODI toss jinx, finally getting the right result after 20 tosses going against them. Opts to bowl in Vizag with dew expected to be a big factor.
It's all to play for in the series decider between India and South Africa in Vizag. With the three-match series level at 1-1, neither team can afford to put a foot wrong in what has been a high-scoring affair. Both the previous games saw the team batting first post more than 340 runs on the board. However, in the 2nd ODI, the total proved insufficient for the hosts as Aiden Markram and Dewald Brevis' show took the game away from their grasp. However, one cannot deny that dew played a major role in South Africa running away with the contest.
That said, the toss is of utmost importance in the final ODI as dew is once again expected to play a crucial role. India have lost 20 ODI tosses in a row and it remains to be seen whether the jinx finally ends for good. Virat Kohli has been the standout performer for India in the three-match series, scoring centuries in the first two games. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma failed to get going in the second ODI after scoring a half-century in the opener. Ruturaj Gaikwad also came into his own, smashing his maiden ton in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series.
With the ball, Harshit Rana has been taking wickets, but he has failed to stop the run-flow. The same can be said about Prasidh Krishna; however, the latter has even lacked any sort of penetration. Once again, the onus would be on Kuldeep Yadav to prove to be the game-changer for India with the ball. The third and final ODI will be streamed live on the JioHotstar app and website, while it will be telecast on the Star Sports Network.
