History would have been made if we had won on Sunday
If Team India had won the match on Sunday, history would have been made. To date, Team India has never been able to beat South Africa in the T20 series in India. South Africa first came to India in the year 2015-16 to play the T20 series. In this 3-match series, India had to face defeat by 2-0. The last T20 match was canceled due to rain. The captain of the team in this series was Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
At the same time, after this, the team South Africa came to India to play the T20 series in 2019-20. The captain of the Indian team in this series was Virat Kohli. The 3-match series was tied at 1-1 and in this series also one match was canceled due to rain.
Team India's opening batting flop
Team India's opener Ishan Kishan hit Keshav Maharaj for 2 brilliant sixes in the very first over of the match. It seemed that he was going to play a big inning today, but Ishaan could not understand the slow ball of Lungi Ngidi and got clean bowled. After his dismissal, Rituraj Gaikwad also got caught by Dwayne Pretorius on Ngidi's slower ball. 15 runs came off Ishaan's bat and 10 runs came off Gaikwad's bat.
In the fifth T20 too, the Indian team did not make any changes in their playing XI, whereas, the South Africa team made three changes. Temba Bavuma was ruled out of the team due to injury. Keshav Maharaj took over in his place. Kagiso Rabada, who was not a part of the team in the last T20, also made a comeback to the South African team.
Playing XI of both the teams
India: Ishan Kishan, Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (captain), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yuzvendra Chahal.
