Bengaluru: The decider game for the Home T20 Series is all set to unfold between India and South Africa at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
India after starting the series on a rough note with two-straight losses in the first two games of the series. But they quickly recovered and won the next two games. India will take on the game with the intention to continue the winning streak of not losing a bilateral T20 series at home since 2019.
Skipper Rishabh Pant has a lot to prove in this game after getting dismissed on the same wide outside off-stump bowl from the pacers. He needs to step up and play a crucial knock with the other middle-order pair.
The IPL-winning captain Hardik who made his much-awaited comeback in the Indian squad has proved his worth for the side. With balanced batting and power-hitting capabilities, Pandya has made a clear impact on the minds of the selectors and fans all across the country.
Dinesh Karthik has taken up the role of a finisher and is executing it with confidence and domination over the bowlers. With a game-changing inning of 55 runs in just 27 deliveries, he took the team to a defendable total.
The bowling attack looks in touch with in-form Harshal Patel and Avesh Khan with experienced and gutsy Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking charge of the bowling side.
