India chase series win vs SA

October 02, 2022 18:25

Team India would aim to continue its winning run and complete a rare home-series win against South Africa when the two sides clash in the second T20 International, in Guwahati on Sunday.

The ongoing series was originally planned as the final tune-up for Rahul Dravid's team but Jasprit Bumrah's absence from the remaining two T20Is has now thrown more questions than answers.

Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been added to the squad as injury replacements but they do not figure in the World Cup-bound squad, as of now.The burning question is, will the two remaining T20Is give the team management scope to test Bumrah's replacement.

Boasting the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, the South African bowling lacked the sting after the duo dismissed Rohit and Kohli cheaply.

Bavuma would hope that they put up a much-improved show and also the toss of the coin comes in his favour so as to test the Indian batting up front.
