Expansion
Indian batsmen, who were flopped by Gkebarha’s fast and bouncy pitch in the second T20, will have to face the test of South African fast bowlers in the third T20 to be held on Wednesday in Centurion. The pitch at SuperSport Park is also fast and bouncy. If Suryakumar Yadav’s team wants to take the lead in the four-match series which is tied at 1-1, then its batsmen will have to pass the test of fast bowlers. The problem is also that except Hardik Pandya, no other cricketer of the team has ever played any T-20 match on this ground. The conditions here will be completely new for the Indian team. Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and opener Abhishek Sharma, who have not been able to make an impact in both the matches so far, will have to step forward and take up the responsibility in batting.
