South Africa vs India 2018: Predicted playing XI for first ODI

Mohammad Shami

Shami was on fire in the 2nd inning of the final test in Johannesburg

Had it been an ODI match on Indian subcontinent, there is a very strong chance that Mohammad Shami, India's highest wicket taker in the Test series, might not have made in to the playing XI.

Given the fact that South African pitches usually support bounce and reverse swing in the second half of the innings, Mohammad Shami will nip out chinaman Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI as India's third fast bowler.
