IND vs SA Live Score: Here's what KL Rahul said during the toss
Not really bothered by the question of hitting first. The wicket will be the same for both innings and the lights come on quite late here. We reached a good position in the previous match but ended up losing 5 wickets for 40 odd runs. Once we get a good start, we have to make it count. Today is another chance for the boys to prove themselves. This looks like a much better wicket than the previous two, hopefully we can get enough runs on the board. Two changes: Rajat Patidar makes his ODI debut, Rutu will miss the match after sustaining some damage to his finger. Kuldeep is also rested and Washington Sundar comes in.

IND vs SA Live Score: This is what Aiden Markram said during the toss
We'll go bowling first. Looks like a good wicket, won't change much. We want to keep challenging ourselves, hopefully we can take wickets regularly and keep them down to a low total. One last push for most of the boys for a nice break, we're going to do our best. Expect more of the same as in the second ODI. The dimensions are certainly different here, so running between wickets will be key. No changes.
