When and where to watch India vs South Africa match live on TV, online?

The Indian team finds themselves in a critical situation as the Men in Blue prepare to face South Africa in the third and final ODI on December 6 (Saturday). It looks like it will be an exciting match in the match where the series ended in a 1-1 draw. After one impressive century after another, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli.

In the absence of injured Shubman Gill, KL Rahul did a commendable job by leading the team to a 17-run win. However, the Proteas retaliated with a four-wicket win in Raipur despite stellar performances from Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

While Temba Bavuma is unlikely to make changes to South Africa’s winning XI in Vizag, the Indian team may opt to make a few adjustments. Considering his struggles with both bat and ball, the Indian management may consider benching Washington Sundar and bringing in Rishabh Pant.

Pant’s inclusion will give India more experience in the death overs, an area that has attracted attention in the previous two matches of the series. In case Pant is not included, the team may also consider the option of Tilak Varma, who is yet to join the series.

Conversely, the management may also consider replacing the out-of-form Prasidh Krishna with Nitish Kumar Reddy. The Karnataka pacer managed to take just one wicket in the first match and became India’s most expensive bowler in the second match when he conceded 80 runs in 8.2 overs.
