The India vs South Africa series is scheduled to begin on December 10, 2023. The series will include three T20 matches, three ODI matches, and two test matches, which promises to be exciting. Different players will take on the role of captain for India in different formats. Rohit Sharma will captain the Test match, KL Rahul will captain the ODI format, and Suryakumar Yadav will captain all three T20 matches. This series is especially significant as top Indian players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will play in the Test match after the World Cup. Suryakumar Yadav, who recently led the Indian team to victory against Australia, will also captain the T20 matches. KL Rahul has a huge responsibility as the captain of the ODI format. The South African team is very capable and has a strong track record, having performed well in the World Cup. When their players are in form, they can beat anyone, making this a highly-anticipated and exciting series.
