The young South African speedster will look to unsettle Kohli with his pace

Even though India won the third and the final Test match, they lost the Test series 1-2 and Virat Kohli will want to settle scores in the ODI series. On a personal level, Kohli had a spectacular Test outing, wherein he displayed superb skills in tough batting conditions and he would like to continue the same form in the ODI series as well.

Kagiso Rabada troubled almost every Indian batsmen, including Kohli, with his pace and accuracy in the Tests and will be looking to get the better of Kohli in the ODI series. The Indian skipper appears vulnerable to balls outside the off stump early in his innings and Rabada would want to exploit this weakness, because once the Indian is well settled in the crease, he has the ability of taking the match away from the opposition.
