South Africa are bracing for a formidable bowling attack from an Indian side eager to prove themselves when their Twenty20 series begins under New Delhi's scorching summer sun, skipper Temba Bavuma said Wednesday. The touring side will play the first of five matches on Thursday as focus remains on the short format ahead of this year's T20 World Cup. India have traditionally relied on their spinners on home turf but up-and-coming pace bowlers Avesh Khan and uncapped Umran Malik have kept up the country's fast bowling stocks.
India and South Africa will square off in a five-match T20I series beginning Thursday at Arjun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi has been witnessing a severe heatwave and a day prior to the start of the series, Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma on Wednesday said that his side was expecting it to be hot but not this hot. He also said that it is a good thing that the match will be played at night time.
South Africa will take on a slightly depleted Team India in the first T20I of the five-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday. The Proteas will be boosted by the return of star pacer Anrich Nortje, who has missed a fair bit of action due to an injury. Wayne Parnell has also earned a recall, having not featured for South Africa in T20Is since 2017. However, wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock's form will be key for the Proteas.
Dwaine Pretorius on Monday said he would like to inculcate the legendary MS Dhoni's calmness and self-belief. The South African made his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings this year after joining the franchise for a base price of Rs 50 lakh.
Rishabh Pant is feeling relaxed after the Board of Control for Cricket in India decided to remove restrictions imposed on players and decided to conduct the upcoming series between India and South Africa without bio-bubbles. This move came after a drastic reduction in cases all over the country. The wicketkeeper-batter is currently in Delhi with Team India as the five-match T20I series against South Africa begins on June 9 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Miller, De Kock, Rabada, Markram performed well in the just-concluded tournamentNEW DELHI: Just a week back, Gujarat Titans won the 2022 Indian Premier League in style; it was their maiden appearance in the marquee tournament. Hardik Pandya led the team with aplomb, contributing to the winning cause with both bat and ball. There were other key performers like Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shami, Rahul Tewatia, who time and again rose to the occasion.
South Africa's limited-overs captain Temba Bavuma had expressed his desire to play and lead a franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Bavuma termed it as his "fantasy". Leading an IPL team might be Bavuma's desire, but leading his national side against India for a five-match T20I series from June 9 is a reality. To make sure the reality turns out to be a rewarding one, Bavuma has been sweating it out at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national Capital - the venue for the first T20 International between the two teams. The next four will be played in Cuttack (June 12), Visakhapatnam (June 14), Rajkot (June 17) and Bengaluru (June 19).
