Probable Top Performers from IND vs SA
Probable Best Batter: Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad, known for his stylish and solid batting technique, faced a setback in the first two matches of the series. Despite being the highest run-scorer in the recent T20I series against Australia, he failed to make an impact in the ongoing ODI series.

Coming off an outstanding display in the first match, where he claimed a remarkable five-wicket haul, he played a pivotal role in dismantling the Proteas batting lineup, contributing to India's success in the series opener. With the ability to swing the ball both ways at a good pace early on, he poses a genuine threat to any opposition. Eager to carry forward his excellent form, he is determined to make a significant impact in the final match of the series, aiming to help India secure a series victory.
