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.
