IND vs SA: Suspense in the playing eleven of Team India! Who is in and who is out in the second T20?

IND vs SA 2nd T20 Match: The second match of the ongoing T20 International series between India and South Africa will be played today. The Indian team won the first match in spectacular fashion and defeated South Africa by a huge margin of 101 runs. Team India is full of confidence after this victory, but the second match is not going to be easy because the visiting team will come with the intention of counterattacking. In such a situation, the question is whether India will enter the field with any changes in its playing eleven or the team that won the first match will be retained.

Abhishek and Gill’s openings fixed, Sanju Samson again on the bench

Even though India registered a spectacular victory in the first T20, some weaknesses also came to light. Opener Shubman Gill is returning from injury and is not able to score runs at the moment. Despite this, there is less possibility of keeping him out, because he is also the vice-captain of the team. Gill is expected to open the innings along with Abhishek Sharma.

In such a situation, it is almost certain that wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson may once again have to remain out of the playing eleven. Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma will be at number three and four respectively, from whom the middle order will be expected to provide stability and aggression.

Strong option in the all-round department

Team India has impressive options as all-rounders like Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey. These three players have the ability to change the course of the match with both ball and bat. Jitesh Sharma is most likely to get a chance as wicketkeeper, because he was the first choice of the selectors and team management in the first match.

Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh were seen in their rhythm in fast bowling and they are expected to play in the second match also. In the spin department, Varun Chakraborty looked good in the first match, but Kuldeep Yadav’s return to the team can also be considered. If Kuldeep is included then Akshar Patel may have to go out, although the team management may also decide not to make changes to maintain balance.
