On the Indian side, as Chahar has not yet joined the squad in South Africa, any changes are likely to be in the batting and spin departments rather than among the seamers. If recovered from illness, Ruturaj Gaikwad may replace Shubman Gill. There's also a possibility of Ravi Bishnoi coming in for Kuldeep Yadav, despite conditions not favoring either significantly.
Probable India XI:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
2. Ruturaj Gaikwad/Shubman Gill
3. Tilak Varma
4. Suryakumar Yadav (capt)
5. Rinku Singh
6. Jitesh Sharma (wk)
