India Vs South Africa T-20 series going to happen On November 8, Durban will host the first game; on November 10, Gqeberha will host the second; and on November 13, Centurion will host the third. On November 15, Johannesburg will host the fourth and final Twenty20 International.
The two teams last faced each other in the T20 World Cup final earlier this year, where India ended their protracted trophy drought with a close victory against South Africa.In November of this year, India will travel to South Africa to play four Twenty20 Internationals. The games will take place in Johannesburg, Centurion, Gqeberha, and Durban from November 8 to November 15.
It is believed that these four Twenty20 Internationals were the ones that were postponed during India’s 2021 visit of South Africa, whose schedule was altered in response to the spike in Covid-19 cases in that country. A CSA statement stated that the Twenty20 Internationals would be “rescheduled for a more advantageous time in the new year” because India only played three Test matches and three ODIs at the time. At that time, South Africa had won the ODI and Test series.
After that, the teams decided to play these games at a later time, but they were unable to find a window. India had traveled to South
India’s touring team will be captained by Suryakumar Yadav, while Vijaykumar Vyshak and Ramandeep Singh will be making their first appearances. While Riyan Parag, like Kuldeep Yadav, visited the BCCI Centre of Excellence to treat a longstanding shoulder problem, Mayank Yadav and Shivam Dube were unable to play because of injuries.
Under Aiden Markram, South Africa has selected a formidable team that includes seasoned athletes like David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Reeza Hendricks, and Heinrich Klaasen. Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen are expected to make a comeback once their injuries have healed. Two uncapped players, Andile Simelane and Mihlali Mpongwana, are also included in the squad.
