In this high-stakes five-match series, Team India will face South Africa with a dynamic and powerful lineup. On December 9, the IND VS SA T20 series kicks off at Cuttack’s Barabati Stadium, followed by matches at Mullanpur (Chandigarh)’s Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium on December 11, HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on December 14, Lucknow Cricket Stadium on December 17, and Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on December 19. With games starting at 7:00 PM IST across these diverse venues, fans can expect prime-time entertainment and plenty of thrilling cricket action.
Suryakumar Yadav leads India’s probable T20 squad with his explosive batting and cool leadership. The full 15-member list includes Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh, and Washington Sundar. Opening batsmen Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill set the tone with their boundary-hitting, while middle-order stars Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Rinku Singh provide firepower during powerplays. Keeping wicket and hitting in the lower order, Jitesh Sharma is an asset.
