India vs South Africa, India Predicted XI: Will Rohit Sharma's Team Continue With Both Rishabh Pant And Dinesh Karthik In Playing XI?

KL Rahul: With three fifties in the past 5 innings, KL Rahul has definitely got his form back. In the first T20I vs the Proteas, he had scored an unbeaten 51 to guide India home.

Suryakumar Yadav: With back-to-back fifties, the right-handed batter continues to strengthen India's middle-order. However, in his case, more than the runs, it is about the array of shots in his armoury that steal the limelight. Always!

Rishabh Pant: The wicketkeeper-batter has
