India vs South Africa 3rd ODI Playing 11: India will play South Africa in the 3rd ODI on Thursday (December 21) at the Boland Park in Paarl.
After the first two matches, the series is drawn 1-1, means both teams will be hoping to win the decider and clinch the ODI series. It was a thumping comeback for the hosts who won by 8 wickets in the last match to level terms.

India made only one change in the last match as Rinku Singh came in replacing Shreyas Iyer. Despite the dismal defeat, team India may make some changes in the playing eleven. We can witness as many as three changes, with Rajat Patidar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Akash Deep coming into the squad. Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav and Tilak Varma may have to make the way for the incoming trio.
South Africa will be keen to continue with their same playing team in the final ODI in Paarl. Beuran Hendricks and Lizaad Williams came into the side in the last match and it can be the same playing XI for them in the 3rd match.
