IND vs SA / This Selection Gives Too Headache To Selectors For South Africa Bound ODI Team

IND vs SA | The Indian ODI team for the tour of South Africa can be announced anytime. The matter is such that the selectors want to see some more matches of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, it doesn't make much difference because whatever has to happen is almost done. The faces are almost clear as to who has to be given a place in the team, but one selection seems to be getting screwed. Now how this screw is resolved, that will be clear only when the names come out, but the discussion is going on loudly. The screw is stuck as to who will be the second opener in the three-match series because on one side there is excellent performance, and on the other hand there is experience. In one way, young opener Rituraj Gaikwad, who has scored three consecutive centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy, is Shikhar Dhawan on the other side.

With three consecutive centuries where Gaikwad has so far amassed 435 runs in 4 matches at an average of 145.00, Dhawan's bat is completely missing during this period. Dhawan has scored 44 runs in 4 matches at an average of just 11.00, which is very surprising. Especially at a time when the selectors are eyeing the Vijay Hazare Trophy to pick the team. In such a situation, the selectors are confused whether to give preference to the fire of Gaikwad's bat or Dhawan's experience.

Actually only three ODI matches will be played in this series. At one end, the selection of captain Rohit is certain, then the screw is stuck about who will be on the other. The team already has KL Rahul, who opens the innings in T20. Overall, the fight from here has turned into a rain of runs versus poor form. At the same time, Dhawan has already dropped in T20 and Test years already. In such a situation, solving this screw has become a headache for the selectors.
