India faces South Africa in the first of a three-match ODI series in Ranchi, aiming for a strong performance after a disappointing Test series defeat. Stand-in captain KL Rahul confirmed he will continue batting at number six, a position he has occupied since the Champions Trophy.

Rahul acknowledged the team's focus on adapting to potential dew in the second innings and historical pitch conditions in Ranchi. This ODI series presents a crucial opportunity for Rahul and the revamped Indian side to secure a series victory and regain momentum.
