India Faces South Africa in First ODI, Bavuma Sits Out
Ranchi, India – November 30, 2025 – India is taking on South Africa in the first match of their One Day International (ODI) series today at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first, meaning India will bat first.
In a surprising move, Temba Bavuma is not playing for South Africa. Instead, Aiden Markram is captaining the side. Markram clarified that Bavuma is being rested for this match and is not injured. Spinner Keshav Maharaj is also resting.
While Bavuma’s leadership during the Test series, where South Africa secured a 2-0 victory, was commendable with a record of 11 wins and 1 draw in 12 Test matches as captain, Markram will lead this encounter.
