India Eyes Comeback in ODI Series Against South Africa

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel is optimistic about the team's switch to white-ball cricket after a Test series loss to South Africa. With KL Rahul leading for the ODI series, and experienced players like Virat Kohli returning, India aims for a comeback.

India's cricket team is gearing up for a change in fortunes as they transition to white-ball cricket following a tough Test series defeat against South Africa. The switch could bring new energy, says bowling coach Morne Morkel, as India prepares for the first ODI on Sunday in Ranchi.

Despite the challenges faced in the Test series, Morkel remains confident that the varying format could shift momentum in India's favor. 'The change of clothing and ball brings a fresh energy,' he stated, emphasizing the importance of starting strong against a formidable South African side.

KL Rahul will take the reins as captain due to Shubman Gill's injury, with seasoned players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma making their return. Morkel highlighted their experience as a vital component for the upcoming matches between November 30 and December 6, followed by five T20 Internationals.
