The series against South Africa was watched as the roadmap for the T20 world cup that will be played this year in Australia. Might be India played the series without the seniors but it was a huge chance for the youngsters to step up. Or Had they? Here are the biggest takeaways from the series.
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly in the series. Especially against leg spinners and left-arm spinners, his strike rate is too good. That will be a case to consider. However, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will be opening the batting and there is no room for Ishan Kishan. But he has shown that he is ready.
2. Dinesh Karthik
The comeback of Dinesh Karthik is remarkable. He has shown that he is the best finisher India could have at this stage. But accommodating Dinesh Karthik in the mix-up is a tricky thing. A cute headache for Rahul Dravid.
3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Bhuvi is impeccable in the powerplay. His wicket-taking abilities are back and so is his miserable economy. He has consistently bowled 2 overs at the top which is so valuable.
