Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have returned to India's ODI squad for the three-match series against the Proteas, while KL Rahul will captain the team in the absence of Shubman Gill.
Proteas centurion Senuran Muthusamy has revealed that he had given up on playing Test cricket again after making his debut for South Africa back in 2019, and was not selected again for a few years.
All-rounder Senuran Muthusamy scored his maiden Test ton (109) and Marco Jansen smashed a brisk 93 (91) to boost South Africa to 480 all out on Day Two of the second Test.
The Proteas will lament a few soft dismissals as they went to stumps on day one of the second and final Test against India on 247-6 as they chase a historic series victory.
India captain Shubman Gill has been cleared to travel to Guwahati for the second Test against South Africa despite being doubtful to play due to a neck injury.
Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara says India's defeat to South Africa in the first Test in Kolkata is "unacceptable" even if the team is in transition.
