IND vs SA 3rd ODI: Changes India Can Make and Mistakes They Must Avoid in Series Decider
India aims to overcome toss losses, dew challenges, and batting weaknesses by considering lineup changes and tactical adjustments to clinch the tied ODI series.
- On Dec 6, 2025, India national cricket team will face South Africa men's team at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam for the series decider after the 1-1 tie.
- This series has been played on high-scoring pitches, with both sides surpassing 300 regularly on flat, batter-friendly wickets, while dew and wet ball conditions have complicated bowling and India have lost 20 straight ODI tosses.
- Individual formlines will shape selection as Virat Kohli aims for a third straight hundred, while Yashasvi Jaiswal struggles against left-arm pacers Marco Jansen and Nandre Burger.
- Fan demand and historic implications raise the pressure for both sides in the decider, as Visakhapatnam tickets sold out in minutes and a South African win Saturday would mark a rare ODI series victory in India for Bavuma's team.
- Washington Sundar's limited use with ball and poor returns with the bat put his spot under scrutiny, having bowled only seven overs combined; reports suggest India may replace him with Nitish Kumar Reddy to bolster hitting amid Hardik Pandya's absence.
