India are set to take on South Africa in a five-match T20I series starting from June 9 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah being rested after a hectic IPL schedule, the Indian team is ready with some fresh faces and a new captain in the form of Rishabh Pant.
The wicket-keeper batsman was tasked to lead the side after stand-in captain KL Rahul was ruled out of the series due to a groin injury.

On the other hand, South Africa will also benefit from the participation of their star players in IPL 2022. The side will be hoping to make the most of David Miller’s form as he changes his Gujarat Titans jersey for the South African colours.
India came into the competition with the confidence of an impressive clean sweep against West Indies in their last international match. Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik’s form will boost India’s chances in the series. While the pace unit looks a bit inexperienced with Bumrah and Deepak Chahar missing, India have some exciting replacements ready to make their debut in the blue jersey. Arshdeep Singh of Punjab Kings and Umran Malik of Sunrisers Hyderabad have been included in the team as a reward for their form in the IPL.
South Africa have a full strength team under captain Temba Bavuma. The presence of Kagiso Rabada, Quinton de Kock, Enrique Nortje and Aiden Markram give South Africa a core that can lead them to victory.
