4 things that need to change for India to win the series

South Africa v India - 5th Momentum ODI
India will be looking to seal the series

#4 Bowling attack needs to be changed

2nd Momentum ODI: South Africa v India
Chahal has been expensive in T20 matches

In the last few months, Chahal has proved himself to be one of the better bowlers in the limited overs format but he has cost team India two matches so far. India were looking comfortable in the 4th ODI but Chahal got the wicket of Miller on a no-ball which later proved to be very costly. In the previous match, nothing was going right for the young spinner which was the main reason behind the defeat of India. Chahal was smashed (one wicket for 103 runs in 8 overs at economy 12.87) in the first two match. Klaasen will be quite happy to see him in the playing XI. Right now, Chahal's confidence has been compromised and Kohli needs to drop him and make room for Kuldeep Yadav.

Left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat is also getting special treatment from South Africa. He has conceded 75 runs picking up only 2 wickets in 8 overs. Hopefully, Bumrah will be back in the starting line-up replacing Unadkat.
