India takes on South Africa in the second ODI at the SVNS International Stadium in Raipur, and all eyes are on the team combination for today’s crucial match. After winning the first ODI by 17 runs, the hosts are expected to retain the core structure of their XI—but questions remain around the batting order and whether Rishabh Pant could slot in.

The team management is likely to continue with the same line-up that featured in the opening game. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad are expected to get another opportunity at the top. One area to watch is the middle-order rotation between Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, especially after Sundar was sent in at No. 5 previously.
Rishabh Pant, who is in the squad, is unlikely to feature today as KL Rahul is set to continue in his dual role as captain and wicketkeeper.
