India Risks 1986-87 Double-Series Failure vs SA in ODI Decider

• India faces South Africa in a decisive third ODI, with the series tied 1-1.
• A loss would mark India's first double-series failure against the same opponent at home since 1986-87.
• The last such instance was Pakistan's 1986-87 tour, where they won both Test and ODI series against India.
• KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bowl; India made one change, bringing Tilak Varma in for Washington Sundar.
• South Africa made two changes due to injuries to Nandre Burger and Tony de Zorzi, replacing them with Ryan Rickelton and Ottniel Baartman.

Why It Matters: India risks a rare double series loss, a historical event not seen since 1986-87.
