SA vs IND, 2nd ODI, Stats Preview: Upcoming records and approaching milestones

Yuzvendra Chahal

After losing the first ODI by 31 runs, KL Rahul and his men will meet South Africa in the second ODI on January 21, 2022, at the same venue. The Men in Blue will be looking to bounce back straight away in this short series where only three ODIs are scheduled. A loss here would seal the series for the hosts, which the visitors would want to avoid especially after the disappointment of the Test series loss.
