This is India’s first match in the five-match T20 series against South Africa on the 9th of this month. All the players joined the camp yesterday after the IPL season which ended last month. The first match will be played in Delhi.
KL Rahul will lead India in the series where captain Rohit Sharma has been rested. Senior players Virat Kohli, Bumra and Shammi have been rested. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will lead India’s bowling line-up.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar-led bowlers Avesh Khan and Hershel Patel are sure to get a chance. It is learned that India have found one of the remaining two bowlers, Umran Malik and Arshadeep, in the starting XI.
According to reports, Arshadeep was the standout performer in the training section led by Dravid and the bowling coach. According to reports, Umran Malik’s balls were easily faced by the batsmen. At the same time, the Yorkers thrown by Arshadeep are at the pin points, the report said. So the news is that Arshadeep will be in the first match. Meanwhile, reports say that the first training section under Dravid was tough.
