SA vs IND : India’s Predicted Dream XI

The Indian Cricket Team have been in tremendous form as they beat the home team in the first game of the three match T20I series. The visitors managed to post a total of 203 runs in the allotted 20 overs and destroyed the hosts by 28 runs in the 1st T20I game.

In the batting department, the left-hand opener Shikhar Dhawan added some quick runs as he scored 72 runs off 39 deliveries. The right arm pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s first fifer in the T20 International game restricted the hosts to 175 for 9. The Indian Team is looking to seal the series in the second T20I game.

Here, we have predicted the playing XI of the Indian team which could field during the second T20I game. Take a look:

Openers:

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan

While Rohit Sharma gave a flying start to the Indian team in the first T20I game, the left-hand opener Shikhar Dhawan scored quick 72 off just 39 deliveries. The both openers might retain their place in the XI for the upcoming T20I game.

Middle Orders:

Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Ms Dhoni

The Indian skipper added just 26 runs in the first game of the T20I series. Kohli, who scored over 500 runs in the ODI series, looking to dominate the T20I series.

The comeback man Suresh Raina failed to score a big in the first game. He scored just 15 runs but he might retain his place for the second T20I.

When India needed quick runs, Manish Pandey failed to impress his fans as he scored just 29 off 27 deliveries. Despite his slow innings in the last game, he is likely to retain his place for the upcoming game.

The former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni managed to only 16 in the opener of T20I series. He too will be looking to make a mark in the upcoming T20I game.

All Rounders:

Hardik Pandya

The Indian all-rounder is yet to impress the Indians after his much-needed 93 against South Africa in the first test game. In the last T20I, he scored quick 13 and dimissed dangerous David Miller.

Bowlers:

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal and Jasprit Bumrah

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who did not make impact in the ODI series, took his first T20I fifer and helped India restrict the hosts to 175. He will be looking to repeat his performance again.

Kuldeep Yadav was rested for the 1st game despite being the higesh wicket-taker in the ODI series. He is likely to replace Jaydev Unadkat for the next game.

Despite conceding 39 runs in the four overs, he dimissed well-settled Farhaan Behardien in the first T20I game. The another pacer Jasprit Bumrah who went wicketless in the first game, looking to bounce back in the 2nd T20I.
