India will begin their T20 World cup preparation by kickstarting their campaign against the visitor South Africa led by Temba Bavuma. Under KL Rahul, the team will embark on a journey to test their bench strength and will potentially look to throw some new cards in the series. The likes of Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, and Arshdeep Singh. Much to be revealed and mammoth to be planned before the world cup. India wouldn’t forget the scars of the previous world cup ouster and hence a balanced and experienced side will be the target.
Besides experienced faces – Hardik Pandya & Yuzvendra Chahal – returning to the side, India will add the much-needed balance to the bowling department. In the absence of T Natarajan, young lad Arshdeep Singh would secure his place in the side. Umran Malik will look to roar against the South African side with his roaring pace.
