Hardik Pandya is nursing his injury and is yet to return to full fitness. The India all-rounder is a key part of ODI and T20Is, but will play no part in the South Africa series. He is likely to feature for Baroda in the domestic tournaments and New Zealand series next year remains a possible return date for him.
India Squad vs South Africa Live Updates
Tilak Varma has been excellent in the T20I format for India. He started his rich vein of form last year in South Africa and has continued it, most recently in the Asia Cup final. Will that be enough to get an ODI call-up as well? Remains a tricky question, but likely not.
India ODI, T20I Squad Announcement Live Updates: Will Ravindra Jadeja be picked?
Ravindra Jadeja was not included in the Australia ODI series, but the left-arm spinner is deemed in the selectors' plans. It is to be seen if Jadeja is picked for the South Africa ODI series, and if he is not, this may well be curtains for him in the 50-over format.

At least in the ODI front, they can definitely hand some opportunities to some of the fringe players.

India ODI, T20I Squad Announcement Live Updates: Selectors eye Minimal Changes
It is likely to be an identical squad for India in the T20I series against South Africa, with the only possible exclusion being Shubman Gill. In Gill's place, Sai Sudharsan or Ruturaj Gaikwad can come in. Yashasvi Jaiswal can also be tried in the T20 format as the southpaw has seen his chances limited. Abhishek Sharma is certain, and team management can also try out Sanju Samson at the top.

India ODI Squad Live Updates: Shubman Gill's Injury Not Serious?
As per a report by Revsportz, Shubman Gill's injury is not as serious as it seems and it's not a 'neck injury'. Neck spasms generally takes 2 days and if not recovered then it might go upto 15-20 days to recover. As a result, Gill has reportedly taken an injection to speed up the recovery. But report suggests that he could be out of the T20I series and might not return till Jan, 2026.
India Squad Announcement Live Updates: Will Rohit Sharma Captain India One More Time?
Rohit Sharma is not completely out of the captaincy conversation for the upcoming series. The veteran opener, who guided India to the Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup titles, was reportedly keen to continue leading the team before the BCCI opted to hand the role to Shubman Gill. With Gill now injured, a temporary return to captaincy for Rohit in the South Africa ODIs remains a realistic possibility.

India Squad Announcement vs South Africa Live: Varun Chakravarthy Conundrum
Varun Chakravarthy had an outstanding outing with India in the Champions Trophy, but hasn't played an ODI since then. The KKR spinner hasn't got a chance on the 50-over format, but has been a regular in T20I cricket for the upcoming South Africa series. Varun is set to be picked for the T20 series, but he may well be omitted again in the ODIs.
India ODI, T20 Squad Announcement Live Updates
Yashasvi Jaiswal is set to get his opportunity as an opener in the South Africa ODI series. The southpaw had to sit out in Australia but Shubman Gill's injury has opened up a place for him. Ruturaj Gaikwad, if picked in the ODI squad, may be included as a backup only. Elsewhere, Tilak Varma and Sai Sudharsan are also strong contenders.
India ODI Squad Announcement Live Updates: Shubman Gill To Return In 2026?
India's Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill may be sidelined for a couple of months after scans revealed his neck injury is more serious than initially believed. Gill aggravated the issue while batting in the first Test against South Africa in Kolkata, where he retired hurt after just three balls and was later taken to a hospital for observation.
Fresh reports suggest the injury could be nerve-related, and he has already received an injection to help ease the discomfort. As a result, Gill is now expected to miss the rest of 2025 as he undergoes further treatment and recovery.
India Squad Announcement vs South Africa LIVE Updates
In the ODIs, Sanju Samson has scored 238 runs at an average of 119 against South Africa, with 1 century and 1 fifty in five innings. In the T20Is, Samson has an average of 72 against the Proteas.
Samson's last ODI appearance came way back in 2023, and despite his excellent form against South Africa, he is likely to remain sidelined for the ODI series.
India Squad Announcement vs South Africa LIVE Updates
Jitesh Sharma is set to be picked in the T20I squad. He had a poor outing in the recent Asia Cup Rising Stars series, especially in the semifinal against Bangladesh where his decision to not promote Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the Super Over has been hugely criticized. But for now, Jitesh and Sanju Samson may be picked for T20s, even if Rishabh Pant is available.
India ODI Squad Announcement Live Updates
KL Rahul is likely to be named as captain for the South Africa series, and Rishabh Pant may deputize him. The likes of Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna are set to return while Jasprit Bumrah may sit the ODI series out, as he did in Australia tour as well.
India Probable ODI Squad
KL Rahul (captain, wicketkeeper), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper).
With crucial players like Shubman Gill sidelined by injury and Hardik Pandya unavailable for fitness reasons, India will face the challenge of recalibrating their lineup while retaining their competitive edge. Leadership will likely see KL Rahul stepping up as captain, with the experienced Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli anchoring the batting lineup. This creates a scenario where the balance of youth and experience will play a defining role in India's approach.
This series will test the bench strength of the Indian squad, with young players such as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad expected to seize the opportunity to cement their places in the team. The absence of Shubman Gill opens a spot likely to be filled by these promising youngsters, bringing fresh energy and unpredictability to the batting order. Similarly, the spin department, led by Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, alongside the pace attack featuring Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh, will be critical in exploiting the varied pitches across Ranchi, Raipur, and Visakhapatnam.
South Africa, known for their fighting spirit and pace battery, will present a stern challenge, making this series an excellent platform for India to experiment with combinations and strategies ahead of bigger tournaments. The venues are expected to offer balanced conditions favoring both batsmen and bowlers, which could lead to competitive, high-scoring matches. With experienced stalwarts like KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma complemented by the hunger and vigour of younger players, India's ODI squad looks well-equipped to navigate this series successfully, despite key absences.
Probable India ODI squad: KL Rahul (captain, wicketkeeper), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel (vice-captain), Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper).
