Team
India
are
set
to
play
three
ODIs
at
the
Narendra
Modi
Stadium,
Ahmedabad
from
February
6
followed
by
the
T20I
series
at
the
Eden
Gardens,
Kolkata
from
February
16.
Rohit
was
supposed
to
lead
the
side
in
the
ODIs
against
South
Africa,
but
a
hamstring
issue
ruled
him
out.
However,
he
has
regained
fitness
and
is
ready
to
lead
the
Men
in
Blue.
When
India
takes
the
field
on
Sunday,
it
will
become
the
first
international
team
to
play
1000
ODIs.
Currently,
at
999
matches,
India
accounts
for
518
wins
and
431
losses.
The
Men
in
Blue
had
played
their
500th
match
in
2002
and
two
decades
later,
the
side
will
now
reach
the
milestone
of
playing
1000
ODIs.
On
Thursday,
the
BCCI
had
confirmed
that
Shreyas
Iyer,
Shikhar
Dhawan
and
Ruturaj
Gaikwad
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
hence
will
miss
the
ODI
series.
Mayank
was
drafted
into
the
squad
and
he
could
be
seen
opening
the
batting
alongside
Rohit
Sharma.
Kuldeep
is
also
back
in
the
squad
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
whether
the
team
management
gives
him
a
chance
alongside
Yuzvendra
Chahal
in
the
playing
XI.
Deepak
Chahar,
Prasidh
Krishna
and
Avesh
Khan
are
also
in
the
squad
and
it
would
be
nice
to
see
these
three
being
given
games
consistently.
Batting
against
South
Africa
left
a
lot
to
be
desired
and
it
would
be
nice
to
see
a
different
approach
against
West
Indies
and
one
would
expect
the
batters
play
their
natural
game.
Virat
Kohli
has
not
scored
a
century
since
November
2019
and
the
entire
country
is
waiting
for
the
right-handed
batter
get
to
the
three-figure
mark
as
soon
as
possible.
Talking
about
West
Indies,
the
side
from
the
Caribbean
is
fresh
from
the
T20I
series
win
against
England
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
how
Kieron
Pollard
leads
the
side
against
the
Men
in
Blue.
