India will miss their two stalwart opening batsmen, Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag. This will mean that Sachin Tendulkar will be opening the innings along Murali Vijay with the likes of Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh and Yusuf Pathan to follow. Pathan failed in the T20 but he will look to make a comeback in the ODIs.
The Kingsmead pitch will allow the South African pace bowlers to wreak havoc on the Indians and it will be interesting to see whether the Indian team can overcome what one had seen on the last tour when they had gone on to lose the series 4-0.
South Africa will be led by Graeme Smith and will miss the services of Jacques Kalli who continues to rest. India vs South Africa 1st ODI Live Streaming
