after time has just flown IPL 2022 comes to an end and we are ready for the much awaited bilateral series between India and South Africa. rested with big guns including the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit SharmaAnd Jasprit BumrahA lot of venues have opened up and the youth guns will be tested just to determine if they can qualify for India’s T20 World Cup squad.

Here is a list of probable eleven that could be fielded at the moment Arun Jaitley Stadium against Temba Bavuma’s South African team.

Opening pair:

from many days KL Rahul In the absence of Rohit Sharma opening the batting for India either in the white ball formats Shikhar Dhawan, Rahul also opened the batting for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022 but his strike rate was a concern and with the ICC T20I World Cup in mind, India could open with Ishan Kishan and CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad. The left-right combination is the desire of teams in international cricket and both Gaikwad and Kishan form the opening pair who can counter-attack at will.

All important number 3:
It is a batting position where the greats of the game have batted, especially in the white-ball format. KL Rahul is a fine stroke maker who can open the innings and accelerate towards the end and keep the momentum going for India.

Explosive middle order:
With players like Iyer, Pant and Pandya, India’s middle order is something that can go straight into any international set up, the men in blue can expect a lot of fireworks that can send any opposition into a frenzy Huh. All three can keep the scoreboard ticking and are equally good against spin and speed. Iyer has been weak against short deliveries lately, but on his day he could just tear down the opposition and provide India with a strong finish.

Gritty lower middle order:
with all the bases in the top six that include Hardik Pandya Who can give a few overs here and there, India’s lower middle order can also come in handy with the bat. In tough situations, the trio including Bhuvneshwar, Axar and Harshal are adept at scoring quick runs for their team and not letting the pressure build on the other batsman. All three assure that India bat deep. As far as the bowling is concerned, three of them form a lethal bowling lineup which includes Harshal’s left-arm spin, Bhuvneshwar’s death bowling and Harshal’s innings that can sabotage the lives of the opposition.

tail:
Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi did well in the IPL and impressed everyone with their bowling. These two may not work with the bat and contribute very little, but they are game changers with the bowl and they can strike at regular intervals whenever the captain needs to do so.

India’s Probable XI:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul (C), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar KumarHarshal Patel, Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi
