Spinners still hold the key

Chahal and Kuldeep were crucial in the first three victories of India. But they have leaked runs in fourth ODI.D avid Miller was dropped by sheets just.Miller was also bowler by chahal .So we cannot say that Proteas have completely read spinners.Kedhar g who missed out last match is still uncertain to llahthe match.

India is quite confidant as Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are in super form. But if they get out early, middle or will be seriously vetted. Rohit, Rehane and Harshika Pandya are not among the runs. Shreyas Iyer will get another chance if Kedhar Jadhav doesn’t recover. Few jitters were observed when Shreyas Iyer came out to bat. It was his first time batting on South African Soil.

Comeback of Ab De Villiers  has influxed huge confidence in South African team. It was clearly evident how South African players handled spinners. Inclusion of Morne Morkel also increased their bowling strength.
