India is gearing up for a fresh start as they face South Africa in the 1st ODI today in Ranchi. After the disappointing Test whitewash, the Men in Blue will be desperate to bounce back in the limited-overs format. With senior stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returning to action, the match already has fans buzzing. KL Rahul will lead the side in place of Shubman Gill, who is recovering from an injury picked up during the first Test.
India look for redemption in Ranchi
The ODI series comes at a crucial moment for the hosts. India will play only six ODIs over the next two months—three against South Africa and three against New Zealand—making every game important for form and squad clarity.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir is also under the scanner after back-to-back Test failures. While his position isn’t under immediate threat due to his contract running till the 2027 World Cup, fans and experts expect a sharper approach in the white-ball format.
