India's White-Ball Reset: A Mission to Regain Momentum Against South Africa

India's bowling coach, Morne Morkel, emphasizes the need for the team to refocus on the upcoming ODI series against South Africa after a disappointing Test series loss. The series offers a chance for both veterans and younger players to prove themselves on the international stage.

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel has urged the team to swiftly transition their focus to the white-ball format as they prepare for the upcoming ODI series against a formidable South African side. The shift comes in the wake of a sobering 0-2 Test series defeat.

Speaking before the series opener, Morkel acknowledged the mental demands of switching formats but expressed the team's commitment to rediscovering their form. "Our priority now is to channel all our energy into the ODI games," said Morkel at the JSCA stadium.

Despite the recent setback, Morkel remains optimistic about the team's prospects, emphasizing the opportunity for emerging bowlers to shine and leveraging the experience of stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
