The fourth ODI between India and South Africa also called the “Pink ODI”. The concept of Pink ODI was originated in 2013 and since then five Pink ODIs have been played at the New Wanderers stadium.

And records show Proteas in pink are invincible. They have beaten Pakistan (2013), India (2013), West Indies (2015), England (2017) and Sri Lanka (2017) in pink gear. In last five ‘Pink ODIs’, the hosts have crossed the 300-run mark thrice and 400 once.

So chasing high-scoring run on the ground is no issues for the hosts. And also there is good news for the South African team as ‘Mr. 360’ AB de Villiers is making his comeback in the fourth ODI.
