After a dominating victory over South Africa in the first ODI match in Jharkhand, Team India will heavily rely on stalwart Virat Kohli to replicate his performance to seal the series win ahead of the second match.
On the other hand, traditional opening batsman Rohit Sharma also seems to be in great touch and will look to bring his 'A-game' in the Raipur clash.
Ahead of the game, the spectators will keep a tab on Yashasvi Jaiswal as he is expected to deliver a crucial knock in the format, considering his success in the other two formats of the game. With limited chances provided to Ruturaj Gaikwad, the right-hander needs to prove his worth to cement his place in the mix.
The second ODI match between Team India and South Africa is scheduled to be played on December 3 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Raipur.
The "Men in Blue" will also expect their star spinner Kuldeep Yadav to continue striking early wickets.
Earlier, the hosts suffered a humiliating 0-2 Test series defeat against the Temba Bavuma-led side. With the return of Kohli, Rohit in the team, the side will look to seal the 50-over format series.
Additionally, visitors' skipper Temba Bavuma and spinner Keshav Maharaj missed out on the series opener, as they were provided rest. In case Bavuma returns to action in the second clash, it will strengthen the Proteas' batting line-up.
On the other hand, the team headed by Gautam Gambhir will play for the pride after the Test series loss at home. Currently, the KL Rahul-led Team India is leading the three-match ODI series by 1-0, and will be eager to seal a victory in the upcoming clash.
