IND vs SA: Shubman Gill’s explosive comeback, but is this young star destined to be heartbroken? see playing 11

News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket fans, get ready! The excitement of the T20 series between India and South Africa is about to begin. The first match will be played at the historic Barbati Stadium in Cuttack. Whenever Team India plays at home, the atmosphere is electric, and the Cuttack crowd is famous for its enthusiasm. But the news coming about the playing 11 just before the match may make some happy and some a little disappointed. Prince will return, batting will be strong. The best news is for those who were yearning to see the batting of Shubman Gill. If reports are to be believed, Gill’s return to the playing 11 is certain. His class and timing will play an important role on the Cuttack pitch. Gill’s arrival in the opening along with Yashasvi Jaiswal means trouble for the opposition bowlers! Gill’s arrival will bring stability to the top order, which is needed in big matches. Why may Harshit Rana have to sit out? Fans of Harshit Rana, who has shown his speed and attitude in the IPL, may have to wait a little longer. It is heard that for the first T20, the team management is placing more trust on “experience”. To create balance in the team and due to the presence of experienced fast bowlers, Harshit may have to sit on the bench. This decision is a bit surprising because fans want to see new and young talent getting opportunities, but experimenting in front of a strong African team can also be risky. How will the Cuttack pitch and the team be? The Cuttack pitch often helps the spinners, but in T20, runs are also scored here. In such a situation, India can go with a combination of 3 leading fast bowlers and 2 spinners. The spin of Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty/Ravi Bishnoi can do wonders here. At the same time, the crowd will be eager to see the ‘Mr. 360’ avatar of Suryakumar Yadav. Equation of possible playing 11: It seems that Team India is going to come with a strong batting lineup and a varied bowling attack. There will be a big responsibility on finishers like Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson. Overall, the match is going to be a tough one. On one side is the strength of the African team and on the other side is the enthusiasm of the Indian lions. Now just wait for the toss and see if Harshit actually gets a chance or will Gill’s captaincy/comeback grab all the headlines.
