The South African team is set to tour india for the five-match t20 series. The first match (today) will be played on june 9 at 7:00 pm at the arun jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Earlier in the series, the bcci fielded a completely young indian squad led by KL Rahul, keeping away key players such as veterans Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Bumrah. In this situation, KL Rahul, who was announced as the captain of the indian team yesterday due to injury, resigned. He was replaced by wicketkeeper-batsman rishabh pant, who was announced as the vice-captain, and hardik pandya was appointed as the vice-captain.
Starters Rudraj kejriwal and Ishant Kishan have also been training hard on the nets. In the absence of Rahul, india currently has only two starters. This series is a great opportunity for Rudraj to show his full potential.
The indian team players also took part in a photo shoot before the match. The bcci has shared a video of players posing in front of the camera wearing blue indian jerseys.
