After three months, the Indian team returns to international cricket. The Indian team will play the first game of the five-match T20 series against South Africa today. This match will kick off at 7 pm at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Before the match, two important players from Team India have been left out of the entire series. In such a situation, there will be a big change in the playing XI. With this, to what extent will affect the mood of the court and the weather in this match, read all this information here…
Just one day before the start of the series, Indian team captain KL Rahul and spinner Kuldeep Yadav were ruled out of the entire series due to injuries. Rishabh Pant has been given command of the team in place of KL Rahul. At the same time, Hardik Pandya has been appointed vice-captain. After the departure of KL Rahul, it is possible that the India team will include Ruturaj Gaikwad as a starter. At the same time, there is a good chance that Axar Patel will be included in the playing XI with Kuldeep Yadav out.
Rishabh Pant (captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umran Malik.
Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendrix, Temba Bavuma (c), Aidan Markram, David Miller, Henrik Klaasen, Tabariz Shamsi, Kagiso Rabada, Enrique Nortya, Marco Yancin.
The wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium is dry. In such a situation, spinners can get more help than fast shooters. Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel from India can be cheap. South Africa also have good spinners like Tabrez Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj who have the power to cause an upset here. Delhi weather is clear today ie no chance of rain. It will be hot. The temperature will be over 35 in the afternoon.
The role of pitching in this match is not visible. In the 6 T20 Internationals held here so far, the team batting first has won three matches, while the chasing team has won three matches.
So far, 15 T20 matches have been played between India and South Africa (Ind vs SA). In these, the Indian team has a slight advantage. India has won 9 matches while South Africa has 6 wins.
