KL Rahul (C)

KL Rahul will captain India in the IND vs SA T20I series and will also lead the team in the first T20I. The right-handed batter will also bat first for the team. KL Rahul is in excellent form right now, as evidenced by his 616-run haul in IPL 2022, which placed him second overall. Rahul scored two centuries and four fifties during the tournament.

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan could be the team’s other opener in the first T20I against South Africa. He might not, however, wear the keeper’s gloves. The MI left-handed batsman failed to produce good knocks in crucial IPL 2022 matches.

However, in a late-season comeback, he scored 418 runs in 14 games at an average of 32.15. The wicketkeeper batter scored 105 runs in two games against Sri Lanka in his previous T20I series. He was also the third-highest run-getter.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer could be India’s third batter in the first T20I against South Africa. The right-handed batsman performed admirably in the IPL 2022, scoring 401 runs in 14 games and hitting three fifties. In his previous T20I series against Sri Lanka, he hit three consecutive fifties. With 204 runs, he finished as the series’ leading scorer.

Rishabh Pant (WK)

Rishabh Pant could be the Indian wicketkeeper in the first T20I against South Africa. The left-handed batter had some good knocks in IPL 2022 but did not have a good overall performance. Pant hit 340 runs in 13 innings, averaging 30.91.

He was unable to break any half-centuries despite hitting the 40s a few times. His most recent T20I series was against the West Indies in February 2022, where he scored 60 runs in two games, including a fifty in one.

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik could also play in the first T20I between India and South Africa. In the IPL 2022, the right-handed batsman scored 330 runs in 16 games.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar will play in the first T20I between India and South Africa. Kumar, the most knowledgeable fast bowler in the squad, will lead India’s pace attack. Kumar has 12 wickets in 14 games for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2022. The right-handed pacer also bowled at a respectable economy rate of 7.34. Kumar had two wickets in three games in his previous T20I series against Sri Lanka.

Harshal Patel

In the first T20I against South Africa, Harshal Patel could be another pacer for the team. In IPL 2022, the right-handed batsman took 19 wickets in 15 games for RCB. He bowled with a 7.66 economy rate. The medium-pacer took two wickets in three games in his most recent T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan could be another pacer for the Indian team in the first T20I against South Africa. The right-arm pacer was quite effective for his team Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022, picking up 18 wickets in 13 games. Khan has only played two T20Is for India so far. He took two wickets in his most recent T20I against Sri Lanka.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal could be one of the team’s spinners in the first T20I against South Africa. The right-arm spinner demonstrated his spin magic during the IPL 2022, where he took the most wickets (27), earning the purple cap.

Kuldeep Yadav

In the next game, Kuldeep Yadav could be another spin bowler for the team. Because it is a home series on Indian soil, spinners will be crucial. Furthermore, because India already has Hardik Pandya as a pace all-rounder, they may select two spinners.

Kuldeep Yadav took 21 wickets in 14 games for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2022, finishing fifth overall. The left-arm spinner will provide the Indian team with more spin options.
