India won the four-match T20I series with a 3-1 score. Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson impressed with the batting, while Varun Chakravarthy shone with the ball. This series was a remarkable win by the Indian team after a long time.
The T20 series between India and South Africa kicked off on November 8. The Indian men’s cricket team faces South Africa in a four-match showdown on their home turf. With seasoned players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja retiring from T20Is after this year’s World Cup, India is entering a rebuilding phase, eager to make a strong start.
The India vs South Africa 2024 series brings intense T20 action, with both teams competing on South African soil.
New Beginnings for India’s Young T20 Squad in South Africa
The South Africa tour presents a valuable opportunity for a young Indian squad, led by T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, to secure their place in the core team for future matches. Notably, only four players—Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel—from the T20 World Cup-winning lineup are part of this touring team.
Gautam Gambhir, the Indian cricket team’s head coach, will miss the South Africa tour. VVS Laxman has stepped in as interim coach for the series.
India holds the top spot in the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings, while South Africa stands sixth.
