SA vs IND 1st ODI: South Africa wins toss; India to bowl

Durban: In the six-match One-Day International (ODI) series opener at Kingsmead Durban, South Africa won the toss and asked India to bowl.

A pumped up Indian side would be looking forward to translate the confidence gained through victory in the third Test in the ODI series as well.

South Africa on the other hand has already suffered a massive blow after their star experienced batsman AB de Villiers was ruled out of the first three matches due to a finger injury.

Ajinkya Rahane has been included in the Indian playing XI, while Manish Pandey and Shreyas Iyer could not make a cut.
