In the second T20I, India’s top order struggled, managing just 124 for six as they faltered against South Africa’s pacers.
Abhishek Sharma’s lack of runs has become a concern. The team management might also consider playing Tilak Verma as an opener and handing Ramandeep Singh a debut for increased lower order depth.
Key batters Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh have also had inconsistent performances. While Pandya scored 39 in the last game, he was slow and struggled to find boundaries. Samson, who has a hundred and a duck, will have to find consistency.
On the bowling side, Arshdeep Singh will look to seek redemption after conceding 28 runs in his last two overs. He could also be rested, making way for Yash Dayal. The spinners, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi, have excelled, and the bounce here could further aid them.
For South Africa, seasoned batters like Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Heinrich Klaasen have yet to make an impact, and their contributions could be crucial against India’s spinners.
