The time has come for the 5-match T20 series to kickstart. The first T20 will start kickstart in Delhi. With the T20 Worldcup ahead, these fixtures are really important. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah rested, and KL Rahul, and Kuldeep Yadav injured, it looks interesting how new-look India will respond to the challenge. Rishabh Pant has been chosen as the captain of the side. Hardik Pandya is the vice-captain.
Here’s the probable playing XI of both sides.
India: 1. Ruturaj Gaikwad, 2 Ishan Kishan, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Deepak Hooda/Dinesh Karthik, 7 Harshal Patel, 8 Bhuveshwar Kumar, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Ravi Bishnoi/Axar Patel, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal
South Africa: 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Reeza Hendricks 3 Temba Bavuma, 4 Aiden Markram, 5 Rassie van der Dussen/Tristan Stubbs 6 David Miller, 7 Dwaine Pretorius, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Anrich Nortje, 10 Marco Jansen/Lungi Ngidi, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi.
