India ring in changes after opening ODI loss vs South Africa; Yuvraj Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma dropped
A wet outfield ensured that play was delayed as the match was reduced to 49 overs per side.
Following the death of the Father of South Africa - Nelson Mandela the India-South Africa series resumed on Sunday with the second ODI in Durban.
India was hammed by a mammoth 141 runs by the hosts at the Wanderers in the first ODI and with a comeback on their mind the team were quick to choose to bowl first when they won the toss.
A wet outfield delaying play, the match was reduced to 49 over per side as MS Dhoni and AB de Villiers announced changes to their teams.
Ajinkya Rahane was brought in to replace Yuvraj Singh while Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma were in for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma. The Indian bowlers have been flayed for their dismal show with the ball on the bouncy South African wickets.
Yuvraj Singh has not performed with the bat and Rahane has been given a chance as India look to comeback in the series they trail 1-0.
South Africa made one change as they brought in Vernon Philander to replace Wayne Parnell.
This series is dedicated to Mandela and so South Africa will be looking for a win as a fitting tribute to their late great leader.
