Let us know what could be India’s playing eleven in the first T20 match against South Africa?

-After Gautam Gambhir became the coach, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have taken over the responsibility of opening for India in T20 matches. Since other senior players are going to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Samson and Abhishek are sure to get a chance to cement their place in the T20 team once again. Captain Suryakumar Yadav can come at the third position, while Tilak Verma can be given a chance at the fourth position. Tilak, who has not been a part of the playing eleven of the Indian team after October 2023.

-Nitish Kumar Reddy will not be there in this series because he has to leave for Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

If this happens then it will be Ramandeep’s international debut match. Apart from strengthening the middle order, Rinku Singh can also play the role of a finisher.

Talking about bowling, Akshar Patel can take charge as a senior spin bowler and Varun Chakraborty can be his partner in spin bowling. Chakraborty, who became the highest wicket taker by dismissing 5 batsmen in the T20 series against Bangladesh. The burden of fast bowling may fall on the shoulders of Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan.
