Will Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s rampage continue in Raipur? News24 –

IND vs SA 2nd ODI Live Cricket Score and Updates: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will look to extend their red-hot form as India eye a series-clinching win in Raipur. The hosts carry the momentum from Ranchi, but South Africa will be desperate to bounce back, especially with Temba Bavuma returning to the XI and hoping to take this contest to a decider.

Raipur hasn’t seen much ODI action, with India playing only once here before Wednesday. They won that game convincingly, though Kohli managed just 11 runs against New Zealand on that occasion.

For South Africa, Bavuma’s comeback is massive. Beyond his unbeaten record as a Test captain, he boasts an excellent ODI track record against India four wins in five matches, including that memorable 3-0 sweep in 2022. His presence adds real weight to the Proteas’ challenge today.

IND vs SA 2nd ODI Ranchi Pitch Report

The pitch at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium is traditionally flat and offers true pace and bounce making it very comfortable for batters. The shots are easier it the ball comes nicely on the bat and bowlers need variations in order to succeed. Spinners might also find some assistance in the middle overs but the nature of surface will remain batting friendly so the bowlers will need to be extra careful.
