Suryakumar Yadav, who led the Indian team to a convincing series victory against Australia at home, will continue to captain the side in the T20 series against the Proteas. This marks a significant moment for Yadav, who recently assumed the role of India’s T20 captain during the Australia series.
The Indian squad is set to receive a boost with the inclusion of key players for the South Africa tour. Ravindra Jadeja will serve as the vice-captain for the T20 series. Joining him are batting sensation Shubman Gill and pace spearhead Mohammed Siraj, who were rested for the Australia series following their contributions to the ODI World Cup.
However, South Africa will miss the services of fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, who is recovering from an ankle sprain and will be unable to participate in the T20 series. Ngidi’s absence creates an opportunity for other South African bowlers to step up and make their mark in the series.
