IND VS SA 1st ODI, Dream11 Team Prediction for India vs South Africa ODI Series 2025 Preview: The two-match test series was a nightmare for Team India. They were hammered in both departments. Can the change in format bring in some luck for them? The big guns will be back for India, and KL Rahul will lead the hosts. The first ODI is slated to be held at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi, on Sunday, starting at 1:30 PM IST.
India have an inexperienced pace unit, as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have been rested for ODIs. Meanwhile, South Africa look pretty good, and they have the momentum after the test series win. India will be hoping to bounce back after the test series defeat. The returns of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will boost the confidence in the Indian batting lineup, especially after what they did in the third ODI against Australia. The middle order will still be an area for India to be concerned about. South Africa have an edge going into the first game.

IND VS SA Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Quinton de Kock, Matthew Breetzke, and Ryan Rickelton will be back for South Africa, and they will surely strengthen the batting unit. Temba Bavuma, Tony de Zorzi, and Aiden Markram are already in good form. For India, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are coming back after a month, so they might be short of game time.
India have a stronger spin unit than South Africa. But when it comes to pace units, South Africa have ahead of India. Arshdeep, Prasidh Krishna, and Harshit Rana have not even played a total of 40 ODIs. That is an edge for them. But because it is the home condition for India, they will be slightly ahead in this game on Sunday.
