India vs South Africa 2018: 5 players who can help India create history
India vs South Africa ODI series starts on 1st February and the visitors would want to carry the momentum they gained in the 3rd Test and create history by winning the ODI series. So far, the Asian sides have found it extremely difficult to perform in the African country, with Pakistan being the only side to win an ODI series there.
India have just won five out of the 28 ODIs against the Proteas on their home-soil, losing 21 with two undecided games. Their win-loss ratio here against the hosts in this format is just 0.238.
To improve that record, here are five players who can make the difference for India and help them win their first ODI series in South Africa.
Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is the sort of player who epitomises the phrase, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". In the last year, he averaged 76.84, and while chasing that number swells up to 78.40.
Considering the South African batting might in this format, it will be fair to consider the possibility of India chasing big totals in the series, and they would need Kohli to fire if they are to hunt them down.
