South Africa Tour of India 2022: Team India’s Likely Playing XI
Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh and Umesh Yadav.
India has just two more matches to select their ideal playing XI for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. In the first match of this three-match T20I series, the home side bowled very well and batted brilliantly.
The bowlers had restricted the Proteas batters to just 106 runs, and with the help of KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav, India chased this score down pretty easily.
But South Africa had lost five wickets with just nine runs on the board, and still, they managed to score 106 runs. This is not a good sign for India, with the ICC mega event around the corner.
The backend overs of the T20I innings are a concern for men in blue. India can replace Rishabh Pant, and they don't need to strengthen their batting because their bowling has proved a weak line, especially in the final four overs of the match.
Even though Hardik is absent from this series. But he is available for the T20 World Cup 2022 and will add depth to the batting order. Now in his absence, the hosts should include Umesh Yadav for the second T20I match.
South Africa Tour of India 2022: Likely Playing XI of South Africa
Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, Rilee Rossouw, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, Dwaine Pretorious, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi.
Batting first didn't go too well for South Africa. But one positive they can take from the first T20I game is that they reached 106 runs despite losing five wickets for just nine runs.
They will need their openers and middle order to fire in the second T20I, which is like a do-or-die for the Proteas because if they lose this one, they will also lose this series.
The Proteas can include Heinrich Klaasen, who has the highest runs against India in the shortest format amongst the current players. He can come in place of Tristan Stubbs. South Africa can also replace Wayne Parnell and Tabraiz Shamsi with Dwaine Pretorious and Lungi Ngidi.
The visitors had started the series on a winning note when South Africa toured India for a five-match T20I series last time. The Proteas won the first two matches and gave a brilliant display with the bat and ball to stun India in the two opening matches.
South Africa needs to replicate that kind of performance from here to win the series in India, which will undoubtedly boost their confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

South Africa Tour of India 2022 (Second T20 International): Top Fantasy Picks
Virat Kohli
The Run Machine of Indian Cricket failed to deliver in a run chase of 106 runs in the first T20I match. But he should fire in the second match of this series which will help India to seal the game and series just like last Sunday.
Kohli’s rise in the form will be the X factor for India in the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia because the King is suited for the Australian pitches.
David Miller
The dangerous batter, David Miller is one of the best in the South African setup. He has the experience of playing in the Indian conditions because of the IPL, and he can use that exposure to guide South Africa in the last two matches of this series.
Miller was the hero when South Africa started the five-match T20I series with a win, and he is expected to deliver a similar kind of performance in the remaining games.
Arshdeep Singh
The young pace bowler won the player of the match award in the first game. Singh bowled well in the powerplay overs with the new ball. But India also needs him as the death overs specialist.
Arshdeep bowled well in the Asia Cup 2022 and should continue his form until the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
Kagiso Rabada
The Proteas pace bowler looked good in the first game of the series, and he has shown what damage he can do with the new ball and in death overs.
Rabada is an asset to this South African lineup and has good experience across the formats. The Proteas will want Kagiso to deliver in the remaining two matches of this three-match series.
