New Delhi. The Indian cricket team will start the 4 T20 match series on South Africa tour from November 8. The first match will be played in Durban from 8.30 pm Indian time. This will be the first clash between India and South Africa after the ICC T20 World Cup final. Only four players who played the final are present in this team. Apart from captain Suryakumar Yadav, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, all the players will be different. Everyone is waiting to see what the playing eleven will be like in the first match.
Team India is going to play its third series since the World Cup 2024 which ended in June. After Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, India will now face South Africa. Some changes have been seen in the last three. In such a situation, the question that will be in everyone’s mind is how will be the playing 11 against South Africa.
Only the pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will be seen playing in the opening. Apart from this, captain Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Yash Dayal, Arshdeep Singh are sure to be selected in the playing eleven. Arshdeep Singh will lead the team as a fast bowler while Axar Patel will be with Hardik Pandya in the role of all-rounder. Talks are coming to light about the T20 debut of Ramandeep Singh, who performed well in domestic cricket and the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup. It remains to be seen whether captain Suryakumar Yadav and VVS Laxman, playing the role of coach, give a chance to this youngster or not.
India’s probable playing eleven:
Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Yash Dayal, Arshdeep Singh.
