- India have won five of their last six men’s ODIs against South Africa including each of their last three such games played in India; in fact, the Men in Blue won their only previous encounter to have taken place in Ranchi during that run (by 7 wickets on 9 October 2022).
- India have won each of their last two multi-game bilateral men’s ODI series against South Africa; a win here would see them win three consecutive such series in the format for the first time.
- South Africa have conceded 300+ runs in six men’s ODIs in 2025, their joint highest such tally in a single calendar year in the format (also 2023).
- India have won each of their last seven men’s ODIs while chasing; another win batting second will make this their outright second longest such run in format history (17 matches between September 2005 and May 2006).
- India have won eight of their last nine men’s ODI matches while being captained by KL Rahul, including a 78-run victory over South Africa in their most recent such game (in Paarl on 21 December 2023); a win here will see the Men in Blue register back-to-back wins over the Proteas under Rahul’s captaincy for the first time ever.
- South Africa average 8.8 balls per boundary in men’s ODIs in 2025, the joint second best such rate among full member nations in that period, behind England’s 7.9 (also Australia); India are sixth on that list with 9.3 balls played per boundary.
- Kuldeep Yadav has picked up 27 wickets against South Africa in men’s ODIs at a bowling average of 16.5, his second best such rate against any team that he has faced more than five times in the format (Pakistan – 14.0); in fact, only against West Indies (33) and Australia (32) has he taken more wickets in the format.
- Temba Bavuma (1,941) is 59 away from becoming the 22nd South Africa batter to score 2,000 runs in men’s ODIs; however, he is without a 50+ score in any of his last three innings in the format (4, 6, 19), having crossed the milestone in each of his previous four such outings prior to that (65, 56, 58, 82).
- Rohit Sharma (India) has registered a 50+ score in each of his last two men’s ODIs against full-member nations (121* and 73 v Australia); the last time he did so in three consecutive such matches was a run of three games between June and July 2019 (103 v Sri Lanka, 104 v Bangladesh, 102 v England).
- South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton averages 1.46 dismissals per innings on the field in men’s ODIs since the start of 2024 (19 dismissals in 13 games), the second highest such rate among players to have played at least 10 matches in the format in that period (Muhammad Rizwan – 1.50).
