India vs South Africa 2023-24: Indian team will travel to South Africa, where they play in all three formats, which starts with the T20Is.
India vs South Africa 2023-24: After a 4-1 win against Australia in the last T20I series, Team India is ready for their next target, which is a full-fledged series against South Africa. The series starts from Sunday.
With the T20 World Cup approaching, the management have focused on young guns as Suryakumar will once again be seen leading a young unit, with hardly any seniors available in the ranks. Premier all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be his deputy and apart from him only Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, and Mohammed Siraj are the other players, who were part of the ODI World Cup, where India finished as the runners-up.
The T20Is will be followed by the 50-over format, which Suryakumar is not a part of. KL Rahul will instead be at the helm but senior pros Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not considered for the white-ball format.
The tour will finally conclude with a two-match Test series, which will also mark the return of Kohli and Rohit after the ODI World Cup. Senior pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami too return for the red-ball format, which is expected to be a tight affair given the South African conditions.
