This is the must-win match for Men in Blue and the visitors, South Africa, after the Proteas defeated India in the second ODI match in Raipur. Mistakes have now been converted into lessons, as India takes on the Temba Bavuma-led men who are looking for an ODI series win today at Visakhapatnam.
Meanwhile, India has won the toss and decided to bowl first against South Africa. After winning the toss, captain KL Rahul said that they had worked hard and trained themselves last night. On deciding why he chose to ball, he said, there was dew here, and not like Ranchi and Raipur.
KL Rahul said he wants to chase the total as it looks like a good wicket. "We are really happy with the way we have played in the last two games," he added. He said there are a lot of positives to take note of from the last game, considering the conditions. He announced one change in the playing squad, that is, Tilak Verma replaced Washington Sundar.
