South Africa’s tour of India was among the many cricket tournaments which got affected by the outbreak of a “pandemic” in COVID-19.
The first ODI between South Africa and India was abandoned without a ball being bowled as incessant rains called the shots in Dharamsala.
With sporting events starting to get postponed / cancelled due to coronavirus, it was announced that the second and third ODI will be played behind closed doors in Lucknow and Kolkata respectively.
Just as the teams landed in Lucknow to play the first-ever ODI at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, it was announced that the series has been postponed.
There was soon a development regarding both BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and CSA (Cricket South Africa) deciding to reschedule the series in the near future.
