    Tilak gone!!

    And that's the major blow to the Indian team. Tilak Varma is now gone as Marco Jansen takes another good catch at deep fine-leg. The third umpire had a look at it but this was fine. Tilak pulls this short one off Ngidi but does not get the elevation. Hardik is now in. India 78/4 after 11.4.

  • 7:18 PM (IST)
    Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!

    Suryakumar Yadav is OUT!! India have lost their second wicket and Surya has been dismissed. India are in a huge trouble now and Ngidi has picked up both wickets to fall. Abhishek Sharma must make sure he clicks now.

    Markram was happy to win the toss

    We're going to bowl first. Expecting conditions to be good here in India. Quite a bit of dew around, might be a constant throughout the game but might get a bit worse later. (Quick turnaround time between formats) It's the way things work, lot of the games end up playing in the mind, need to get yourself in the right frame of mind. Fantastic build-up to the World Cup. From a conditions point of view, it's going to be great. You can’t simulate these, certainly not back in South Africa, so that’s a massive thing. And then obviously testing yourself against one of the better outfits in the world. Looking forward to that, seeing where we are. And we’ve got another couple of months after this to fine-tune things and hopefully be ready for that World Cup.

    What did Surya say after losing the toss?

    Suryakumar Yadav: That’s okay. I mean, we were a little confused looking at the wicket. Yesterday it was looking a little more greener, but today we were a little confused. But it’s okay, we’re happy to bat first. It gives a good challenge to put runs on the board and come out here and defend. I mean, see, it (dew factor) becomes a little challenging for the bowlers - you can’t run away from the fact. But going from here on, I think that’s going to remain for a really long time. It has been there for a very long time. So if we keep focusing on that, I think the main job will be in trouble in doing that. But yeah, let’s not think about it and have it as a challenge. We had a good series in Australia. Now we play five T20s against South Africa and then we play against New Zealand, so 15 good T20s. I think it’s good preparation. Same thing what we’ve been doing in the last few series: be fearless, enjoy the game, and be at it for the next three hours. It (selection) is a very good headache to have. But I’ll tell you the guys who are missing out: Sanju Samson, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar and Harshit Rana.

    Samson, Kuldeep - NOT in the playing XI

    India have made a big call to drop Kuldeep Yadav from their playing XI. Sanju Samson not playing was somewhat expected. This means Arshdeep Singh gets a go today!!

    Toss Update!!

    South Africa have won the toss and opted to bowl first. India's luck at the toss continues to desert them.

    Will luck work in favour of India today?

    India's luck at the toss has not been great in international cricket. KL Rahul broke the duck finally in ODIs, while in T20Is, Surya's luck has been a bit better. Can India win the toss today? or will Markram have his say when the coin is flipped in the air?

    Squads

    Here are squads of both teams:

    South Africa Squad: Quinton de Kock(w), Aiden Markram(c), Tony de Zorzi, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Reeza Hendricks, Ottneil Baartman, Donovan Ferreira, Kwena Maphaka, George Linde

    India Squad: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma(w), Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson, Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana

    Who is the most threatening player in South Africa line-up?

    Dewald Brevis has to be the most dangerous player in the South Africa line-up. He hits a six every 6.1 balls and if he spends time out in the middle, the match can certainly go away very quickly from India. He is known as Baby AB and certainly bats like De Villiers when in full flow. Keep an eye on this youngster!!
