India vs South Africa 2024 T20I series: All you need to know, full squads, schedule, TV timing, live streaming
Team India will kick off their four-match T20I series against South Africa at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban on Friday. The series will be a clash of T20 World Cup 2024 finalists earlier this year, which India won to become world champions after 17 years.
Suryakumar Yadav will be leading a young Indian side which will look to build on the 3-0 whitewash of Bangladesh in T20I series back home last month. India will back on Sanju Samson as the opener again, after his maiden T20I ton in the last match – a blazing 111 off 47 balls against Bangladesh in Hyderabad.
This is an important series for Abhishek as well. The dashing left-hander showed his impressive skills while hammering a 47-ball hundred against Zimbabwe at Harare in July, but his other six international innings have produced – 0, 10, 14, 16, 15, 4.
Abhishek will be keen to be more consistent to safeguard his place, and he will also be looking to be more penetrative with his left-arm spin. Tilak Varma offers a similar case. The left-hander has somewhat fallen off the radar after making a solid beginning to his T20I career against the West Indies in August 2023.
