India will play three T20Is, three ODIs, and two Tests in South Africa after completing their home series against Australia. The first Twenty20 International of the eagerly awaited tour takes place at Centurion’s legendary SuperSport Park on December 10. The Men in Blue are leading the Australia T20Is by a score of 2-1 after five games, and the South African tour team will be revealed shortly.
According to the most recent reports, star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya will not play in the high-stakes series because he is still recovering from an ankle injury he suffered against Bangladesh during the World Cup. The BCCI tries to persuade Rohit Sharma to captain the T20I squad in his absence, but the seasoned player doesn’t appear to be interested in sticking with the shorter format.
So, it is very likely that daring batsman Suryakumar Yadav will lead India in the Twenty20 Internationals against South Africa. In addition, veteran pacers Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah, who were rested for the Australia T20Is, may be included in the lineup this time.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar
