Having won the T20I series, the Men in Blue were expected to continue their dominance in the 50-over format as well. But the results did not go in their favour during the just-concluded three-match ODI series against the hosts which they lost 3-0.

Despite scoring a mammoth 347-4, India suffered a four-wicket defeat at Seddon Park in the opening game. Needing a win to stay alive in the series, Virat Kohli’s men were bundled out for 251 runs in the next fixture at Auckland while chasing 274 runs and it enabled the Blackcaps to take an unassailable 2-0 lead before heading to Mount Maunganui for the third and final game of the series. A determined Team India looking to avoid a series whitewash, managed 296 runs batting first at Bay Oval.

But that wasn’t enough as Kane Williamson&#8217;s men chased it down in just 47.1 overs at the loss of five wickets to clinch the series 3-0 thereby inflicting a rare ODI series whitewash on Team India. India’s next ODI assignment will be the three-match series against South Africa at home next month.

The series which begins on March 12 at HPCA stadium in Dharamsala with the hosts taking on the Proteas will be heading to Lucknow and Kolkata for the remaining fixtures. But several players from the current Indian squad might be left out for the much-anticipated series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mark-boucher-finds-shades-of-ms-dhoni-in-quinton-de-kock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quinton de Kock</a>’s men given their form and squad balance.

Here&#8217;s a look at four Indian players who might be left out for the ODI series against South Africa:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-397514" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mayank-Agarwal.jpg" alt="Mayank Agarwal" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-397514" class="wp-caption-text">Mayank Agarwal (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Though it was his debut ODI series, a lot was expected from Mayank Agarwal given his batting credentials. The 28-year-old who was roped in as a replacement to the injured Indian limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma has a proven track-record in List A cricket with 4035 runs to his name and has even performed well in List A cricket outside India.

Given his exploits in the Test matches over the past year or so, the Karnataka batsman was expected to continue his impressive run in ODIs as well. But, Mayank’s performance turned out to be a disappointment for the team management as well as fans since he managed just 36 runs in the series against New Zealand (scored 32, 3 and 1 in first, second and third ODIs respectively).

With exactly a month to go for the next ODI assignment, Hitman who was ruled out of the ODI, as well as the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, might make his much-awaited comeback against Proteas. Another debutant, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/he-will-have-to-work-on-his-fitness-aakash-chopras-piece-of-advice-for-prithvi-shaw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Prithvi Shaw</a> who opened the batting alongside Mayank looked promising with the scores of 20, 24 and 40. With Shikhar Dhawan unlikely to return next month, young Prithvi Shaw might be retained in the squad against South Africa ahead of Mayank Agarwal who is likely to face the axe.

(Photo by Robert Cianflone/Getty Images)</figcaption>

More than Kedar Jadav’s performances, his mere presence in the XI has raised several questions regarding the team selection and combination. The 34-year-old who last bowled against West Indies at Chennai in December 2019 made the cut in the first two games given his useful off-spin spells apart from his valuable knocks lower down the order. But Jadhav who scored 26* and 9 at Hamilton and Auckland did not bowl in those two fixtures.

Despite his late cameo at Seddon Park, his batting came under the scanner in the second ODI as he took 27 balls to score nine runs while chasing 274 runs for staying alive in the three-match series. This led to his exclusion from the XI for the third ODI at Mount Maunganui where he was replaced by Karnataka batsman <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kl-rahul-and-manish-pandey-chirps-in-kannada-language-during-3rd-odi-against-new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Manish Pandey</a>.

The 30-year-old Pandey made much of this opportunity by amassing a vital 42(48) thereby helping India to put up a challenging total (274 runs) on board after KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s heroics. With Pandey contributing vital runs despite after coming in at number six, it doesn’t augur well for the Chennai Super Kings all-rounder who did not live up to the expectations. Instead, a talented player like Suryakumar Yadav might be brought in against South Africa.

(Photo by Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Despite featuring in all five T20Is against New Zealand, Shivam Dube failed to break into the XI during the ODI series. The all-rounder who came in as a replacement to the injured Hardik Pandya has so far played a solitary ODI in his career. Given the team’s formidable batting line-up and bowling combination, his exclusion from the XI was an expected one.

The 26-year-old who managed 41 runs and two wickets during the five-match T20I series might be left out when the Indian ODI squad for the series against South Africa is announced. Though Pandya’s comeback for the series against Proteas looks uncertain, the Mumbaikar who warmed the bench during the entire series against Kiwis might be overlooked.

Though there are no doubts regarding his all-round credentials, Dube who will be representing <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-royal-challengers-bangalore-to-change-their-name-and-logo-for-ipl-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> in the upcoming 2020 IPL, unfortunately, had to be kept out of the XI keeping in mind the conditions, team balance and the fate of the series. Let us hope, he gets his much-deserved chances to prove himself in the future!

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-395134" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shardul-Thakur.jpg" alt="Shardul Thakur" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-395134" class="wp-caption-text">Shardul Thakur. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Though Shardul Thakur had a memorable T20I series against New Zealand where he emerged as the highest wicket-taker with eight scalps to his name, his bowling came under the scanner during the just-concluded three-match ODI series in which almost all Indian bowlers suffered a rare setback.

Having recorded an economy of 8.89 in the series opener at Seddon Park, the 28-year-old was expected to be replaced by Navdeep Saini for the must-win encounter at Auckland. But, Virat Kohli’s decision of retaining Thakur and dropping Mohammed Shami for bringing Saini into the Playing XI did not go well with the fans and pundits.

Thakur who finished second ODI with the figures of 2/60 in 10 overs was taken to the cleaners in the final game of the series at Mount Maunganui having finished with an economy of 9.49. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar likely to return from the injuries and Mohammed Shami already in the ranks, Thakur’s ODI spot remains doubtful. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-urges-fellow-mumbaikars-to-help-residents-of-shivaji-nagar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mumbaikar</a>’s expensive spells against Blackcaps might certainly lead to his exclusion from the Indian ODI squad against South Africa.

Here’s a look at four Indian players who might be left out for the ODI series against South Africa:
