New Delhi, May 31: India will face South Africa in the five-match T20I series in June and it will kick start with the first match on June 9 at the Arun Jaitely Cricket Stadium in New Delhi.
India and South Africa have always dished out exciting matches on the field and this time too the experience should not be any different.
South Africa have assembled a full-strength squad for the series while India have rewarded some young names who have done well in the IPL 2022 without entirely overlooking the experienced players.
Experienced players like Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma etc will miss the series after a long IPL and life inside the bio-bubble.
KL Rahul will lead India in the series and this time there will not be any bio-bubble in place as normalcy returns to the proceedings.
The performance of Hardik Pandya will be watched with eagerness as he recently led the Gujarat Titans to the IPL 2022 title with a commanding performance with both bat and ball.
Dinesh Karthik too has returned to the India white-ball set up after an impressive IPL 2022 for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
