The four-match T20 series between India and South Africa is going to begin. The first match of the series will be played on November 8 at the historic Durban Stadium. It is difficult to say now what the Indian team’s XI will be in this first match, but it is certain that there is a good chance that another IPL star of the Indian team will debut. We are talking about Ramandeep Singh. He has also been signed by his IPL team KKR and was recently able to see his performance in the Emerging Asia Cup.
When the BCCI announced the squad for the India vs South Africa series, Ramandeep’s name was also included in it. This is the first time Ramandeep will be seen in the Indian team. Recently, when the Emerging Asia Cup was being held, Ramandeep Singh played an excellent innings of 64 runs off 34 balls against Afghanistan in the final. He couldn’t lead the Indian team to victory, but he definitely stood out in the eyes of the selectors. Earlier, when Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was playing in the series, was sent to Australia, Ramandeep was included in the team in his place.
Meanwhile, if we talk about Ramandeep’s T20 figures, they are very impressive. So far, he has batted in 37 innings in 57 T20 matches and scored 544 runs during this period. His average is around 24 and he bats with a strike rate of 170, this strike rate is his USP, which has brought him here. Not only this, he also took 16 wickets while bowling in 19 innings.
The Indian team is currently looking for an all-rounder like Hardik Pandya. Who can show excellence in batting and bowling? Although Hardik is still playing, but if he gets injured somewhere or if they try to give him rest, then it becomes a big question who will play in his place. Meanwhile, Shivam Dubey, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ramandeep Singh have been quite impressive. It remains to be seen how they perform in the future. When Suryakumar Yadav goes to the field for the toss on 8th, he will say that Ramandeep Singh is making his debut, we have to wait.
