IND vs SA: How could be India’s playing 11 in the second T20, will Captain Surya give place to these players?
Ravi Biswanoi and Suryakumar Yadav
India vs South Africa 2nd T20I: The Indian team had a great start on the South Africa tour. On the basis of a stormy century by opener Sanju Samson, Team India defeated host South Africa by 61 runs in the first T20I played in Durban. Batting first, Team India scored 202 runs losing 8 wickets in 20 overs on the basis of Sanju’s amazing inning of 107 runs. In response, the South African team could not even complete 20 overs and collapsed for 141 runs. Now the Indian team will face South Africa in the second match on November 10, where it will try to maintain the winning streak.
In the first T20I, Sanju Samson scored a century but his partner Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring only 7 runs. While Sanju achieved the feat of scoring a century in his second consecutive match, Abhishek failed in his fifth consecutive innings. Abhishek has so far been able to score only 1 century in 8 innings. His best score in the remaining 7 innings is only 16 runs. From this it can be estimated how bad Abhishek’s recent form is going.
Will the captain show confidence in Abhishek Sharma?
Opener Abhishek Sharma, despite getting many opportunities, could not take advantage of them, which is a big concern for the team management. He has been struggling to score runs after scoring a century against Zimbabwe earlier this year. Abhishek’s bat may be playing smoothly but captain Surya would not like to change the winning combination so soon. In such a situation, Abhishek Sharma’s work of opening the innings with Sanju Samson may continue in the next match.
Less scope for change in batting
The batting slot looks completely packed and there is no scope for any changes. India have Ramandeep Singh and Jitesh Sharma and they may get a chance to play a match at some point in the series, but India will probably avoid making changes to their batting so soon. If they take a 3-0 lead in the series, Ramandeep and Jitesh may get a place in the team.
chances in bowling
The scope for change that is expected in the team is visible in the bowling. Yash Dayal and Vijaykumar Vaishak are waiting for their chance. Of these two, perhaps Vaishak may get the first chance. It will be difficult for the team to drop a player after just one match, but they also need to test all the players. Still, Vaishak may get a chance in place of Avesh Khan.
India’s probable playing eleven for the second T20 match against South Africa: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Ramandeep, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Yash Dayal and Avesh Khan/Vijaykumar Vaishak.
