South Africa will be touring India for 5 t20 matches. We hope to have some great fun in this series with the t20 world cup coming up. These matches will be very important for both teams and as you know both South Africa and India don’t give an inch away while playing cricket against each other. India resting Virat Kohli , Rohit Sharma and Bumrah for this series. It will be really exciting to watch the young Indian Team taking on South Africa. With Rohit Sharma being rested for the series we have new Captain KL Rahul captaining the Indian side. He is in great form. Who was always in the race for Orange cup for most runs scored and ended up second but he was the highest run scorer this Tata IPL 2022 from an Indian side and managed to take his debutant team Lucknow SuperGiants to the playoffs. We wish him all the best for the SouthAfrica series and may the best team win.
