However, it won’t be that easy. Team India will be without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami. South Africa have sent a strong squad with most players accustomed to the Indian conditions having played IPL 2022 for two months.
The World Record was one reason why Rahul Dravid and BCCI wanted to have a full-strength squad. But with injury, niggles, fatigue and poor form, the BCCI decided to give rest to senior players including captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. They will instead leave for England on June 16.

For KL Rahul personally, the South Africa series will be the biggest test for his captaincy aspirations. After losing all four matches (1 Test and 3 ODIs) under his captaincy, the South Africa series will be crucial for him to prove a worthy successor to Rohit Sharma when the time comes.
“It will be a great opportunity for KL. The only senior around him will be Bhuvneshwar and it will be the best test for him as a potential Indian captain. I won’t say he will be under pressure but certainly, he will be closely monitored,” a member of the selection committee told InsideSport earlier.
