🏏India vs South Africa 1st T20 : GIS Tiruvanathapuram. 🏏- Page 5

Khan: "5 out of top 6 T20 batters in action today. I have freed my schedule for both block busters. " -- Oh yes - let's count 'em in order: Rizwan, Suryakumar (newly-minted No. 2), Babar, Markram and Dawid Malan at No. 6. In fact, there's been a lot of movement in the recent ICC rankings update.

Mustafa Moudi: "Fun Fact: This is the 2nd Time in just 4 months that SA is touring India for a T20I Series. Interestingly, that series ended in a 2-2 Draw, so this series can act as a tie-breaker to that series !! " -- And believe it or not, India have never won a T20I series against the Proteas at home.

T20 mein vice captain kyun nahin hota😕

Aur yeh Rishabh Pant ko baar baar insert karne ki koshish kyun karte hainonly for being left hander? Isne pakka jaadu tona karwaya hai taki baki left handers injured ho jaaye🤓

I thought KL is VC.

Toh toss jitne ka kya fayda😆

Alison: "Bwoh! What a squad for the proteas. If all of them are in form we could be in for a cracking batting display this evening! "

First thing that stands out from the India team - there is a lot of batting depth. Chahar is more than a decent hand. This should help India in case they find themselves in a spot of bother chasing. Bumrah seems to have a back niggle, form what BCCI tweeted. India need to wrap him in cotton wool with the T20 World Cup looming. South Africa have their captain back which means no place for Reeza Hendricks.

Bumrah complained of a back pain?

Mayank : "India should have played one more bowler instead of Rishabh. Harshal, Ashwin, Deepak can all bat, making the batting still deep"

I agree
