South Africa faces India in the first T20I of a three-match series today on Sunday, December 10, at Kingsmead, Durban.
South Africa will be led by Aiden Markram while Suryakumar Yadav is in charge of the Indian contingent. The Proteas will be stepping onto the field for the first time after their heartbreaking semi-final defeat against Australia. Meanwhile, India will look to build on their 4-1 T20I series win at home against the Aussies. South Africa were whitewashed 0-3 by the 'Men in Yellow' in the last T20I series they played at home.
The imminent series against South Africa marks the return of Shubman Gill, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja to the squad as well. The three players, strategically rested after a grueling ODI World Cup campaign, now bring their well-honed skills back into the fold. The squad, however, continues to see the absences of batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have been away from T20I action since the World Cup last year.
With the T20 World Cup set to be played next year in June, the two teams will look to zero in on some of the players who could potentially be a part of the squad for the marquee event.
