Kuldeep Yadav (India): Whether the Rose Bowl pitch responds to spin or not, Kuldeep's bowling will always be a factor in a limited-overs game. He has done well against South Africa in South Africa, and the Proteas will likely be wary of his ability to trouble their batsmen, who are not the best players of spin - with the exception of De Kock, Du Plessis and Amla.

Quinton de Kock (South Africa): The wicketkeeper/opening batsman is perhaps the most important cog in the Proteas' batting wheel given Hashim Amla is not in the best of form and Faf du Plessis has to handle the pressures of captaincy. The good thing is De Kock is in good form and has done well against India in ODIs. His propensity to score big hundreds could help keep the Indian bowlers at bay. Alex Davidson / Getty Images
Faf du Plessis (South Africa): The captain put behind him his dismissal against England to score a fine fifty against Bangladesh. If he can carry on batting the way he did in the second match, he could put India under a lot of pressure. South Africa might need a big hundred from the gritty top-order batsman.

Imran Tahir (South Africa): The leg-spinner is in terrific form with the ball, courtesy the IPL, and has found a way to get into the minds of opposition batsmen lately. Indian batsmen are not the best players of spin any longer, and Tahir could get them into trouble - especially if India are chasing a big total. Tahir's body language and positivity can also boost his teammates' spirits on the field. Matt Dunham / AP Photo
Virat Kohli (India): Despite his up-and-down season in the IPL, Kohli is easily the best batsman in one-day international cricket. He loves the big occasion, too, and will be determined to get his team's campaign off to a positive start with yet another hundred in this format of the game. His enormous self-confidence has often given his teammates the morale boost they sometimes need. Aijaz Rahi / AP Photo
Jasprit Bumrah (India): Much is expected from India's premier fast bowler, who is fast becoming one of the best in the world as well. Bumrah will likely find English conditions helpful in pursuit of wickets, whether it is with the new ball or old. India will need him to do what he does best - get the opposition on the backfoot with quick wickets in the opening spell. Aijaz Rahi / AP Photo
