India’s probable 18-member squad for South Africa T20Is
Rohit Sharma will look to continue his unbeaten streak as captain, as India welcome South Africa for a five match T20I series in June.
4) Suryakumar Yadav
In a season to forget for Mumbai Indians, it has been Suryakumar Yadav who has somewhat put on decent performances with the bat. The right-handed batter has established himself as a regular in the Indian T20I squad, and there is no reason to look past him momentarily.
He was awarded the “Player of the series” against West Indies, scoring 107 runs in three innings at an average of 53.50. The Mumbai Indians batter is a solid option to bat at No.3 against South Africa, considering that Virat Kohli will likely be rested for the bilateral series.
Suryakumar Yadav has had an impressive start to his T20I career, scoring 351 runs in 14 matches at an average of nearly 40, and a strike rate of over 165.57. The 31-year-old batter will look to anchor the innings, batting in a relatively new position for him in international Cricket.
5) Sanju Samson
Virat Kohli’s potential absence leaves an opportunity for the inclusion of Sanju Samson in the T20I squad. The Rajasthan Royals skipper has delivered a couple of impactful performances in IPL 2022 and will look to continue doing the same to boost his chances for the T20 World Cup.
Although he is not certain to be picked, there is a reasonable chance that Sanju Samson will be included in the Indian squad. The right-handed batter will compete for a place in the starting 11 with Shreyas Iyer for the number four spot.
