India will take on South Africa in the first ODI of the 3-match series at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Thursday (October 6) afternoon.
 

The India cricket team has a new-look relatively inexperienced ODI side as the T20 World Cup squad players are not part of this series. S. Dhawan is the skipper with S. Gill, S. Samson and S. Thakur all in good form. 

On the other hand, most of the South Africa team is the same that featured in the T20I series. They last played an ODI series in July against England (1-1 draw). The team has good balance and firepower in all departments and will be looking to start the series on a positive note.
