India are set to take on South Africa in a three-match T20I series as a part of their upcoming bilateral tour. India have been quite busy since the end of the World Cup, playing a five-match T20I series against the reigning World Champions Australia. Despite the absence of some key players including the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, India managed to bag that series 4-1 at home. It was Suryakumar Yadav who led the team against the Aussies in Rohit’s absence. Ravi Bishnoi was declared the player of the series for his impressive bowling display across the five games. It will be interesting to see if India can continue their winning momentum against South Africa in their opening game this weekend.
After a heartbreaking end to their World Cup campaign against Australia in the semis, South Africa will be looking to redeem themselves against India in the upcoming tour. South Africa’s last T20I game was back in August where they again lost to Australia by five wickets. It will be interesting to see if they can return to good form while playing at home.
