Wicket-keeper batsman Samson recently got the opportunity to open the innings in the home T20 series against Bangladesh and proved the team management’s decision right by playing an innings of 111 runs in 47 balls. Rohit Sharma has retired from T20 international cricket and in such a situation, Samson will try to cement his place in India’s top spot in this format by playing some good innings against South Africa. This series is also very important for Abhishek Sharma because he has been struggling to score runs after scoring an attractive century against Zimbabwe in Harare in July. He would also like to perform better as a left-arm spin bowler. Tilak Verma’s situation is similar. The left-handed batsman had made an impact with his performance on debut against the West Indies, but after that he could not perform as expected. You would also like to take better advantage of its side effects. This will also be a good opportunity for batsman Jitesh Sharma and spinner Varun Chakraborty.
They will have a great responsibility
The team’s senior players like captain Suryakumar Yadav, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel will also try to make the series against South Africa memorable. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh Avesh Khan will also be responsible for the fast bowling attack. Because he has experience in international matches. As for South Africa, their team will be desperate to avenge their defeat at the hands of India in the T20 World Cup final in June.
