After beating Australia following a stunning 2-1 comeback series win, Team India face another uphill task as they gear up to take on Temba Bavuma’s South Africa. The Proteas had earlier toured the subcontinent in June, with the series ending 2-2 after the final match was washed out.
Rohit Sharma and Co will be hoping to keep up their winning momentum after a lacklustre show in the Asia Cup 2022. Elsewhere, South Africa come into the series on the back of four consecutive wins in their past five T20I games.
This will be the third time India and South Africa face off against each other in the year 2022, and the Men in Blue will hope to set their record straight against the high-flying visitors.

Team India’s squad
Mohammed Shami had been named in India’s squad, however, he has not recovered from Covid, so Umesh Yadav will continue to deputise in his place. Shahbaz Ahmed is likely to be added to the India squad since Hardik Pandya has been rested for the T20I series, whereas Deepak Hooda’s back spasms have ruled him out, so Shreyas Iyer is likely to replace him.
