After a 48-run win in Visakhapatnam, which saved them from conceding the series early, India will look to equalize the series score against South Africa in a five-match affair when both teams will be at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on Friday. I will go on the field. 17 June). India had everything they needed in the match in Visakhapatnam 48 hours ago, in which Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan shared a 97-run partnership to set India up for a challenging 179/5. The off-colour bowlers came into the party in the first two matches in New Delhi and Cuttack as Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal took four and three wickets respectively to bundle out South Africa for 131 runs.
Hoping to win the match, India would look to get skipper Rishabh Pant and top-order batsman Shreyas Iyer some big runs. Pant delivered some thrilling shots in Delhi but his dismissals revealed a pattern – getting out thrice off wide off the off-stump and caught in the deep on the off-side by fielders. With the Proteas bowlers bowling away from their preferred hitting arc, Pant will have to find solutions and come back to his best.

Iyer has been tested with short-pitched balls in all matches and has suffered a slowdown in facing fast bowlers. But he has been brilliant at dancing on the pitch and hitting Tabrez Shamsi for sixes. Iyer will be eager to modify his playing script on a big ground like Rajkot.
With the ball, Chahal and Harshal rushed to the spot while Bhuvneshwar Kumar continued his good run and Axar Patel provided good support. They want pacer Avesh Khan to get a right-arm pacer with a few wickets under his belt, yet to take a scalp in the series.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be keen to quickly overcome a loss to Visakhapatnam and a rare day with the bat. The Temba Bavuma-led side scored runs from David Miller, Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen in the first two matches, before their first loss to India in 2022.
