After concluding the Test series, Team India is all set to lock horns with South Africa in three One-Day International (ODI) matches.
The first of the three ODI matches between Team India and South Africa is scheduled to be played at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Jharkhand on November 30th.
Ahead of the first match, a photo of Rohit from the net session has taken social media to abuzz. In the photos, the right-hander seems to look more fit.

Additionally, the 38-year-old batsman is shy of just two sixes from becoming the player with the most sixes in the history of the One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Currently, the right-hander has smashed 349 sixes for Team India in 276 ODI matches. Above him is Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi, who has registered 351 maximums in 398 ODI matches
So far, the Nagpur-born cricketer has scored 11,370 runs for India in 276 ODI appearances. The 38-year-old batsman also has 33 tons and 59 half-centuries to his name in the format.
Ahead of the series, the “Men in Blue” will miss the services of their lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The duo have been provided rest as a part of their workload management. Additionally, Shubman Gill will also not participate in the series, as he is still recovering from the neck injury that he sustained in the first Test match against the Proteas. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer is also recovering from the rib injury and hence will not make his appearance in the contest.
In Gill`s absence, KL Rahul will be leading the side. The series will also witness stalwarts Kohli and Rohit Sharma making their return to the format.
