Led by Mr 360 of Cricket Suryakumar Yadav, India has assembled a young and fearless squad ready to take on the Proteas. Even without Jasprit Bumrah, the visitors look good to compete a near full-strength South Africa squad.
Deja vu anyone?
The day is almost here. Both captains have met ahead of the 4 match T20i series between South Africa and India.
The first encounter post the ICC T20 World Cup final earlier this year, memories still fresh in the minds of both teams!

SA vs IND 1st T20I Pitch Report
Kingsmead Durban pitch promises a gripping contest between the bat and ball. Fast bowlers are likely to get early assistance with seam movement. Kingsmead offers good pace and bounce, and favors stroke-makers after the new-ball gets a bit older. Durban pitch may not be as kind to spin bowlers and they might struggle to find much help.
