Last time on October 9, 2022, India defeated South Africa by seven wickets. The one batting in the second innings in Ranchi may have an advantage because bowling in the second innings is not easy due to dew. The command of Team India is in the hands of new captain KL Rahul. After the test, Shubman Gill is now out of ODI also due to neck injury. Out of six matches played in Ranchi, India has won three matches. In January 2013, they defeated England by 7 wickets, in October 2013, the match with Australia remained inconclusive, in November 2014, they won by three wickets over Sri Lanka, in October 2016, they lost to New Zealand by 32 runs and in October 2022, they defeated South Africa by 7 wickets.

Rohit and Kohli now play only in the ODI format, and India will play just six ODIs in the next two months. Three against South Africa and three against New Zealand in January. In such a situation, both these giants will have to play in these two series under any circumstances.

So Rohit will remember that match of 2013, where he became the opener….

Interestingly, in the same JSCA stadium in 2013, Rohit Sharma had appeared as a full-time opener for the first time. That decision of Captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni changed the career of Rohit Sharma. This not only changed Rohit’s white ball career but also redefined India’s ODI philosophy. A decade later, the 38-year-old Rohit is returning to Ranchi again, this time in search of a different kind of rebuild. Especially when India has faced defeat in the home Test series. For India, this ODI series is being played in the shadow of the T20 World Cup to be held at home next year. Rohit then played that match as an opener against Australia on 23 October 2013 and he returned unbeaten after scoring 9 runs along with the other opener Shikhar Dhawan (14). The result of that match could not be determined due to rain. Australia had then scored 295 runs in the ODI while playing first.
