India vs South Africa 1st T20I Live Streaming: Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian cricket team will be taking on South Africa in the first T20I of the four-match series. As India firmly embrace a transition phase, a clutch of second line stars such as Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma will be hoping for a breakaway series in the four T20Is against South Africa. It is imperative for them to shed the tag of sidekicks and establish themselves as the first-choice players in this format.
Multiple Indian Premier League (IPL) stars are expected to make their India debut in the 1st T20I of a four-match series against South Africa in Kingsmead, Durban. St George's Park in Gqeberha will host the second T20I on November 10, with the third game scheduled for SuperSport Park in Centurion on November 13. The series concludes with the fourth T20I at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on November 15. The Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team arrived in South Africa on the back of posting a mind-boggling 297/6 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, the highest score by a full member nation in T20Is.
As India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav addressed the media in a pre-match press conference, ahead of the first T20I against South Africa on Thursday, he had to answer some tricky questions. One such question was on the absence of Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad from India's T20I side. Over the last year or so, Gaikwad has emerged as one of the finest batters across all formats. Be it red-ball or white-ball cricket, Gaikwad's performances in India's domestic spectrum have impressed one and all. Yet, he continues to be on the sidelines when it comes to national selection.
The T20I series between T20 World Cup 2024 finalists -- India and South Africa -- is set to kick off in Durban on Friday. The two teams squared off in the championship finale a few months ago, where India pulled themselves out of the jaws of defeat to secure their second T20 World Cup title. For South Africa, the series doesn't just offer an opportunity to exact revenge but also to test themselves against a new-look Indian side that has come to the fore after the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja.
A fresh video angle seems to have finally put to rest Suryakumar Yadav's sensational catch that came in the final of 2024 T20 World Cup against South Africa in Barbados. The stunning grab from Suryakumar at the boundary line was so close that it led to a controversy. Needing 16 runs from the final over, South Africa had David Miller on the strike. The southpaw hit a wide full toss from Hardik Pandya but Suryakumar was able to catch the ball inside the ropes at long-off, realised it just as he went over the boundary, and then came back in to complete an astonishing catch.
It was indeed an emotional moment for the Indian cricket team as well as its fans and the management staff as the side lifted a T20 World Cup trophy after a gap of 17 years. It was also India's first ICC trophy after 11 years. It was a thrilling final at Kensington Oval in Barbados as India edged past South Africa by a narrow margin of 7 runs to clinch their second title, having won the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007.
It was a super emotional moment for Rohit Sharma on Saturday when India lifted the T20 World Cup title after 17 years. The Indian team defeated South Africa by a narrow seven-run margin in the final that almost slipped away from their grip. India captain Rohit was about to lose a third ICC final in around a year's time, but this time a different fate was awaiting the skipper. As things turned out, India managed to eke out a win and Rohit found no bounds of his joy. Check it all here -
