The India National Cricket Team is set to face the South African National Cricket Team in a three-match ODI series, starting November 30, after the ongoing two-match Test series. However, the hosts will be without two of their biggest stars, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah.
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah will reportedly be rested as India balances player fitness and preparation ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at home and in Sri Lanka. The ODI series will see the return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after their sensational performances in Sydney.
