🏏South Africa tour of India 2025: India vs SA - 3rd ODI🏏 - Page 2

All eyes would be on whether the hosts can manage to break the toss jinx. The side hasn't won a single coin flip since the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad against Australia, losing 20 tosses in a row in the 50-over format. Be it Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill or KL Rahul, no one has managed to find the rub of the green going their way.

Dew is once again expected to play a crucial factor; hence, the toss will once again play a significant role. The need of the hour is also to define Washington Sundar's role as the left-handed batter has coped with a lot of criticism for his below-par performances in the middle-order.

Virat Kohli Eyes Hat-Trick Of Tons As Gautam Gambhir Hopes To Avoid Another Series Defeat

India vs South Africa Live Score 3rd ODI: India will take on South Africa in the third ODI of a three-match series at the ADA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam in the series decider. The series is currently level at 1-1 after the hosts won the opening game while the Proteas secured victory in the second game. Both matches so far have been high-scoring thrillers

Virat Kohli is the man of the hour; at the age of 37, he continues to show he remains the world's best in the format. Despite doubts over his place post Test retirement, the former captain has shut his critics up in stlye with back-to-back. He has the chance to become only the second player in history to score three ODI tons in a row twice.

Gautam Gambhir will hope to ease the pressure on him with a series win. While India's dismal Test record under him is in focus, India has largely performed well in white-ball cricket under him. However, a series loss here will mean the Men in Blue would have lost three of their four bilateral ODI series under him.

Toss: The toss will take place at 1:00 PM IST

Pitch Report: The pitch is likely to be another flat, with another game with big scores on the cards. The dew factor will once again play a key role.

Weather Report: No rain is expected. A pleasant day is expected with temperatures between 19-28 degrees celcius

Virat Kohli Eyes History

After shutting his critics and doubters up with two ODI centuries in a row, Virat Kohli now has the chance to create history and become just the second player in ODI cricket history to score three centuries in a row twice after Babar Azam. Kohli achieved the feat for the first time in 2018 against West Indies.

Will India Win The Toss?

With dew once again set to play a big role, India will hope to win a toss. However, it is not as easy as it sounds. The Men in Blue have lost a world record 20 ODI tosses in a row. The chance of which is one in a million. The last time India won a toss in ODI cricket was on 15th November 2023 in the 2023 WC SF vs New Zealand.

Another High-Scoring Clash In Store

Another high-scoring clash is likely. The Vishakhapatnam stadium is known for a batting friendly surface. There have been 300+ score in 3 of the 10 games played at the venue. Infact, apart from India's 10-wicket defeat to Australia in 2023, all games here have seen a score above 200 and just one below 250
