Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj has always been handy with the bat, but on Wednesday in Thiruvananthapuram, he was much more than that.
Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar hit the South Africans hard with some magical swing bowling before Suryakumar Yadav's little gem on a difficult track ensured an easy eight-wicket victory for India in the first T20 International in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. A target of 107 on a pitch with underlying moisture and more than waist high bounce at times was a struggle before Suryakumar (50 not out in 33 balls) released the pressure created by KL Rahul (51 not out, 56 balls) as India won the game in 16.4 overs to go 1-0 up in three-match series.
Arshdeep Singh returned to India colours in fabulous fashion as he produced a grand show of swing bowling, sending back three South African batters in an over to break the back of the Proteas top order. Arshdeep came in to bowl the second over of the innings in the 1st T20I at Thiruvananthapuram after Deepak Chahar had already given India a good start by sending back captain Temba Bavuma.

Bumrah was missing from India's team sheet for the first T20I against South Africa in Thiruvananthapuram. The Indian cricket board informed that he was ruled out after complaining of pain in the back.
India were off to a fabulous start in the first T20I against South Africa as Deepak Chahar clean bowled the Proteas captain for a duck in the very first over of the match. Chahar opened the bowling for India after Rohit Sharma chose to field first and was on the money with all his deliveries.
