Series in bag but India face stern bowling test in final T20 against Proteas
It may be an inconsequential game on paper but Indian bowlers await another tough test against South Africa ahead of the T20 World Cup when the two teams meet in the final game of the three-match series here on Tuesday.
Having sealed their first-ever series against South Africa at home, India can afford to rest a few of their key players but the hosts will be determined to put up a complete performance before they take the flight to Australia on October 6.
ince their early exit from the T20 World Cup 12 months ago, the Indian batting has come a long way and looks formidable ahead of the next edition beginning later this month.
Majority of the batters remain the same from the UAE edition but it is the drastic change in approach which has made the difference.
Heading into the ICC event, India’s high-profile top-three have hit top form including K L Rahul who allayed concerns about his strike rate with a sublime effort on Sunday.
Virat Kohli has batted a 140 plus strike rate since the Asia Cup that includes three 50s and a much-awaited hundred. Skipper Rohit has come up with impactful innings over the course of the six games at home against Australia and South Africa.
