India captain Virat Kohli said that even with two South African pacers--Dale Steyn and Lungi Ngidi--ruled out of the match on Wednesday, the Proteas would be a "very dangerous side" on their day and would not like to take the opponent lightly.
We need to approach the game focusing on our strengths, said Kohli.
India are set to open its 50-over campaign against Faf du Plessis-led side on June 5 at the Rose Bowl.
