Here is what we think could be India's playing XI vs South Africa in the 3rd T20I
Beaten in a rain-hit second T20I on Tuesday, India will look to level the three-match series as they take on South Africa in the third and final T20I at The Wanderers in Johannesburg. With KL Rahul set to take over the captaincy for the upcoming ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav will hope to bow out with a win. The focus will be on the Indian pacers after a difficult outing in Gqeberha. India are likely to make changes to their playing XI for the do-or-die contest. Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad could return to with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma likely to sit out.
