After the World Cup tournament, the young Indian team, which won the T20 series against the Aussies at home, prepared for the series against South Africa with the same confidence.

Senior players like Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not in the T20 series. The Select Committee rested them. With that, India will enter the ring in this match under the captaincy of Surya Kumar Yadav. As Gill, Jadeja and Siraj, who did not appear in the Australian series, now joined the team, there was interest in who would be in the final squad. While Gaekwad and Jaiswal are in excellent form as openers, Ishan Kishan is playing in the third position. But now, with the arrival of Gill, it remains to be seen which of these three will be sent out.

If they want to continue the players who are in form, then Gill is a must in this match. Otherwise Gaikwad is likely to be sidelined. Surya at number four, Shreyas Iyer at number five and Rinku Singh at number five look confident to play. With the arrival of all-rounder Jadeja, he will bat at number 7. Bishnoi, as the only spinner, and Deepak Chahar and Mohammad Siraj, as fast bowlers, will be on the team. But we have to see who will get a place among Mukesh Kumar and Arshadeep Singh for another pacer.
