India will face South Africa in a three-match ODI series from November 30, but without regular captain Shubman Gill. Gill has been ruled out after suffering whiplash in the Kolkata Test and is still undergoing medical tests in Mumbai. KL Rahul has been named captain in his place. Shreyas Iyer is also out after surgery, forcing selectors to pick a new leader. The series will see the long-awaited home return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Yashasvi Jaiswal will open with Rohit, while Ruturaj Gaikwad comes in as reserve. Jadeja returns, but Hardik Pandya remains unavailable. (PC: India Today)
