New Delhi. The Indian team is ready to play the first match after the historic defeat from New Zealand. The Indian team is facing South Africa in Durban today on 8th November. This is a T20 match, in which the Indian team will look completely changed. Suryakumar Yadav’s team will try to reduce the pain of the defeat from New Zealand by registering a win. Two Indian players can start their T20 International career from the match against South Africa.
The Indian Cricket Board has selected a brand new team for the South Africa tour. In this, only one player from the Indian team playing the Test against New Zealand has been selected. That player is Akshar Patel. Most of the players in the team selected under the leadership of Surya are those who are struggling to get or confirm their place in Team India. However, World Cup winning team members Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep are also in this team.
Ramandeep can debut
The Indian team, which will be under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, can give a chance to one or two new faces in its playing eleven. Ramandeep Singh and Yash Dayal are at the forefront of this race. 27 year old Ramandeep Singh impressed while playing for KKR in IPL. After this he also performed well in the Emerging Asia Cup.
Yash Dayal may also get a chance
Yash Dayal, who came into limelight after hitting 5 sixes in one over from Rinku Singh, is also a contender for a place in the playing eleven. 26 year old Yash Dayal performed well for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last season of IPL. Since then he has been in the radar of the selectors.
India’s playing eleven (probable): Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Akshar Patel, Yash Dayal, Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh.
