Huge responsibility on Pant, beginning of T20 series between India and South Africa

The 5-match T20 series are starting from tonight. India will play without some big names like Rohit Sharma, Kohli and Bumrah and they will start the series with a new leader- Rishabh Pant. KL Rahul was previously announced as a captain but because of injury, he would not be able to play.

After dissapointing performance in IPL, Ishan Kishan will still get a chance and he will probably be open with Ruturaj Gayakwad. Apart from these names, some other players can perform and make their chances more bright for the T20 world cup selections.

Some of the South African players performed really well in IPL like Rabada, Quinten De Cock and Miller. They lost the last T20 series against India at their home soil but this time, they have very good chance to win the series as India is not playing with full strength team.

India can make a new record of continuous 13 wins in T20Is as they already have won 12 matches. India is on no. 1 position in ICC rankings whereas Proteas are on 4th position.
