#3 Rohit Sharma
Rohit didn't have a consistent ODI series with five failures, but managed to get a match-winning hundred at Port Elizabeth. Even though he is not the most consistent batsman in the team, on in his day he can be a match winner with the bat.
He had a good T20I series against the Lankans back home, and will be looking forward to repeating the same. With the license to go after the bowling right from ball one, he can give the hosts a tough time in the field.
Johannesburg is a six hitting ground, as it is up in the hills and the air pressure is low, helping the ball fly easily into the stands, which will help his cause. With the kind of bat swing he has got, and his ability to hit maximums at will, he'll definitely be a threat to the opponent.
