Who has been named captain of the Indian ODI team for the upcoming series against South Africa in November–December 2025?
KL RahulKL Rahul was appointed captain of the Indian ODI team for the three-match series against South Africa beginning November 30, 2025, after regular skipper Shubman Gill was ruled out due to a neck injury sustained during the first Test in Kolkata. The BCCI clarified that Rahul’s captaincy is a short-term arrangement and not part of a long-term leadership plan. Rishabh Pant was not considered due to lack of recent ODI experience (only one game in the past year). Rahul’s appointment ensures continuity while Gill recovers, with expectations he’ll return for the January 2026 ODIs against New Zealand. Ravindra Jadeja also returned to the ODI squad after an eight-month absence.

Which Indian spinner criticized the Barsapara Stadium pitch as being like a 'road' after South Africa posted 489 in their first innings?
Kuldeep YadavKuldeep Yadav, India’s leading wicket-taker in the match with figures of 4/115, sarcastically described the Barsapara pitch as a 'road' due to its extremely batting-friendly and lifeless nature. He contrasted it with the Eden Gardens track in Kolkata, which offered more assistance to bowlers. Kuldeep noted that after the first session of Day 1, the pitch offered virtually no help to spinners over the next five sessions. Despite the challenging conditions, he emphasized the need for mental resilience and adaptability in Test cricket. His comments sparked discussions around pitch preparation, especially since this was the first-ever Test held at this venue.

What record did Marco Jansen set during his 93-run knock in the second Test against India in Guwahati?
Hit the most sixes by an overseas batter on Indian soilMarco Jansen smashed seven sixes during his explosive 93 off just 91 balls in the second Test against India at Guwahati, setting a new record for the most sixes by an overseas batter on Indian soil. This surpassed the previous record of six maximums, jointly held by legends Viv Richards and Matthew Hayden. His aggressive batting, particularly against Indian spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, dismantled India’s bowling plans. Jansen’s innings was crucial in South Africa’s lower-order surge, adding 97 runs with Senuran Muthusamy for the eighth wicket. His performance highlighted the struggles of India’s finger spinners on a benign red-soil pitch that didn’t deteriorate as expected.
