India vs South Africa 1st ODI 2022 Highlights From Boland Park In Paarl
- 14:07 (IST)Lot Of Questions To Be AnsweredDespite all the build up around Venkatesh Iyer's bowling, the youngster did not bowl a single over in the first ODI. If he had to play as batter then wasn't Suryakumar Yadav a better option? What is India going to do with their under-performing middle-order? Will it be a good option to try someone like a Ruturaj Gaikwad or Pant at the top with Shikhar Dhawan and bat KL Rahul at No.4 to provide more depth in the batting unit? The bowling attack too does not seem settled. Yuzvendra Chahal badly needs to strike in the middle overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has reached the twilight of his career and is not the same force with the new ball he once used to be.
