AB de Villiers is expected to play in the fourth ODI against India as South Africa aim to end a fourth defeat in a row.
De Villiers missed the first three matches of the series - all of which the Proteas lost - because of a finger injury suffered in the third Test against the same opponents last month.

A final decision will be made on Saturday as to whether De Villiers has recovered sufficiently to play in the fourth match at the Wanderers Stadium - live on Sky Sports Cricket from 10.55am.
De Villiers' return is the only change to a squad weakened by injuries to regular captain Faf du Plessis and wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock.
South Africa's batsmen have struggled, particularly against India's spinners. Du Plessis hit a century in the first game before being injured but JP Duminy, with 51 in the third game in Cape Town, is the only other South African to have made a half-century.
Farhaan Behardien, who was added to the squad after Du Plessis was injured, is the only batsman in the group, other than De Villiers, who has not yet played in the series but could come in to the side - along with Morne Morkel - as South Africa aim to stop India achieving a series-clinching win.
India are expected to stick with an unchanged side after winning comprehensively in Durban, Centurion and Cape Town.
South African squad: Aiden Markram (captain), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, Heinrich Klaasen (wkt), David Miller, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khaya Zondo.
