Currently, Team India is locking horns with South Africa in the second T20I of the three-match series at the PCA stadium in Mohali. After winning the toss, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli decided to bowl first citing the chances of dew in the latter half of the match. Quinton de Kock is leading the Proteas for the first time in T20Is.
As compared to the last T20I against West Indies, India made as many as four changes in the squad, KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Rahul Chahar, and Bbhuvneshwar Kumar made way for Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and Hardi Pandya. On the other hand, out of their squad, South Africa left out George Linde, Junior Dala, and Beauran Hendricks.
