India has not lost any series to South Africa in T20 in the last five years. The first match of the three-match series has been washed out by rain and now only two matches are left. India is not only faced with the challenge of winning the series, but it also has to play only five T20 matches before the T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and America next year. Based on these five T20s, India has to select its team for the World Cup.
The. The selectors have given a chance to many new cricketers for the Africa tour, but after the first match was washed out, it was decided that not everyone in the 17-member team would get a chance to try out. India won for the last time in 2018. Played the T-20 series with Africa. India won 2-1 in this three-match series.
There is a possibility of rain in Gkebarha also
Due to rain in Durban, both captains Suryakumar Yadav and Aiden Markram could not even come out for the toss. The situation is also not good in St. Georges Park of Gkebarha, earlier known as Port Elizabeth. Here too there is a possibility of rain on Tuesday. After these two T20s, India has to play three T20 matches against Afghanistan next month. After this IPL remains. Captain Suryakumar has also said that since there are not many international T20s, IPL should be a major basis for the selection of the World Cup team.
T20 program under question
Based on their performance so far, Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh can be considered as the team\'s sure contenders in batting for the World Cup to be held after six months. Shubman Gill has not played since the World Cup. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad have scored runs against Australia, but with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli available for the T20 World Cup, both these batsmen will have to perform exceptionally well to stake their claim in the IPL.
However, before the World Cup, question marks have been raised on the T20 schedule of the Indian team. Like Rinku, Jitesh Sharma is also being seen as a finisher, but he needs matches to prove his usefulness. He will hope that he gets a chance in the next two matches.
Young batsmen will be tested
The. Extra bounce on African pitches where the young Indian batsmen will be tested. It will be interesting to see whom the Indian team management sends to open among Shubman Gill, Rituraj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal. It is more likely that Ritu and Yashasvi will continue to open, while Shubman will get a chance to play Virat Kohli\'s responsibility i.e. at number three. However, if all three play, someone in the middle order will have to be removed. Shreyas Iyer, Rinku, and Captain Surya are certain to play. Jitesh Kumar can be seen handling the responsibility of wicketkeeper.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible for all three, Ritu, Yashasvi, and Shubhman, to play together. Either Shubhman or Rituraj may get a chance to play, who can open with Yashasvi. Yashasvi can spoil the line length of any bowler in the beginning. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh are big contenders to be selected for the World Cup team. Bumrah has not been playing since the World Cup. Deepak Chahar is currently in India to take care of his ailing father. Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi impressed against Australia. Now Ravindra Jadeja has also joined him in this series.
The. Africa also has the option of fewer matches
Not only India but the host country. This series is also very important for Africa. Like India. Africa also has to play only five T20 Internationals before the World Cup. They also have fewer options for matches to select the World Cup team. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee were included in the squad for the first two matches. Now both of them will be available only for Tuesday\'s match. The. Africa also has to try cricketers like Otniel Bartman, Matthew Britzke, and Nandre Berger for this series.
Probably playing 11 of both teams
India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill/Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav/Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh.
South Africa: Reeza Hendricks, 2 Matthew Britzke, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs/Henrik Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Donovan Ferreira, Marco Jansen/Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Berger, Tabraiz Shamsi.
