New Delhi: The first match of the three T20 matches series between India and South Africa will be played on 15 September. The Indian team has not been able to register a single victory in their T20 Internationals against South Africa. The team is looking for the first win. Four years later, Team India is going to play a three-match T20 series against South Africa, whose first match will be in Dharamsala on 15 September. Four years ago, in 2015, between India and South Africa, when the three-match T20 series was played.
The Indian team then suffered a 2–0 defeat in this series on their own soil. But this time the situation is slightly different. The African team has definitely come on tour this time, but the lack of big players in the team is clearly visible. Star players like AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla, Dale Steyn are no longer with this team. Apart from this, the South African team had a very disappointing performance in the World Cup, while Team India recently performed brilliantly against the West Indies and the morale of the team is quite high.
India's potential squad for the first T20 - Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (captain), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Khalil Ahmed, Navdeep Saini.
