India Predicted XI vs South Africa, 3rd T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Siraj To Get A Game?

With an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match T20I series, the Indian cricket team has the opportunity to test a few reserves in the third and final match at Indore's Holkar Stadium. The batting unit has come out all guns blazing in the two matches so far, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the charge. The bowling unit, on the other hand, has left plenty to be desired. With the fate of the series sealed, one or two changes can be expected. Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Siraj remain two players who would be eager to be given an opportunity.

Yuzvendra Chahal, apart from his heroics with the ball, is known to be a great entertainer, whether it be on the pitch or on social media. He is often seen joking around with teammates and opposition players alike. During the second T20I between India and South Africa, play was interrupted due to one of the light towers shutting down during the second innings. Tabraiz Shamsi, not in the playing XI, was out in the middle chatting with the two batters at the crease, Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram, as well as India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.

3rd T20I: India target clean sweep against South Africa

Kohli, Rahul rested for inconsequential tie even as bowling unit remains a concernINDORE: Just a few hours after recording their maiden T20I series win at home against South Africa in Guwahati, India will look to achieve their first-ever clean sweep against the Proteas in the inconsequential third and final T20I at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday. A 3-0 result here, following up on the 2-1 series win over Australia, should help India pack some confidence when they board the flight for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. The blazing form of the Men in Blue's top four, particularly the unstoppable Suryakumar Yadav, must be the most heartening feature of the recent 'home run'.
