IND vs SA 2022, 1st ODI: Today's match players list, teams & umpires

While Team India’s T20 World Cup 2022 squad has already left for Australia, the Shikhar Dhawan-led team will take on South Africa in three ODIs at home. The first match of the series will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday, October 6.

A number of Indian players who have been in and out of the white-ball squads in recent times have been picked for the ODIs against the Proteas. Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ruturaj Gaikwad are all part of the team for the series versus South Africa.

Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, and Shreyas Iyer, who have been named as standbys for the T20 World Cup, will also be keen to impress for obvious reasons.

Batter Rajat Patidar and pacer Mukesh Kumar have earned maiden call-ups to the national side on the basis of their impressive domestic performances. They will also be hoping for an opportunity to prove their skills at the top level.
