Important to keep our IPL players fresh and mentally ready for this series: Wayne Parnell

South Africa's star players were part of the two-month long IPL that preceded the ongoing T20 series against India and Proteas seamer Wayne Parnell said it will be a challenge to keep them "mentally ready" over the course of the five games. David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Rassie van der Dussen and Anrich Nortje were among the players who were part of the IPL. However, there was no sign of any fatigue as the visitors thrashed India in the first ODI in Delhi.

India vs South Africa, India Predicted XI, 2nd T20I: Will Arshdeep Singh Get A Chance?

India and South Africa will be squaring off in the second T20I of the five-match series on Sunday at Barabati Stadium. The Rishabh Pant-led side had lost the first game by seven wickets even after posting 211/4 in 20 overs. A below-par performance with the ball cost the hosts dearly and the Proteas chased down 212 with seven wickets in hand and five balls to spare. Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Avesh Khan were unable to execute their yorkers in the death overs, and hence David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen made them pay. So it would be interesting to see whether the hosts make any changes to their lineup, with the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik waiting in the wings.
