Predicted XI for IND vs SA 2nd T20I: India to go with same side, debuts for Vyshak, Ramandeep unlikely

India cricket team will look to extend their domination in IND vs SA 2nd T20I on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav and co. got off to a winning start with a thumping 61-run victory in the first match in Durban. With their eyes firmly set on a whitewash, it is highly unlikely that the Men in Blue will make any changes to the playing XI for the 2nd T20I.

Predicted playing XI for IND vs SA 2nd T20I

1. Abhishek Sharma
2. Sanju Samson
3. Suryakumar Yadav
4. Tilak Varma
5. Hardik Pandya
6. Rinku Singh
7. Axar Patel
8. Arshdeep Singh
9. Ravi Bishnoi
10. Varun Chakravarthy
11. Avesh Khan

No debuts for Vijaykumar Vyshak and Ramandeep Singh

An unchanged side means that Vijaykumar Vyshak and Ramandeep Singh will have to wait longer for their T20I debuts. The duo received a call-up to the squad for IND vs SA T20Is. Both Vyshak and Ramandeep Singh has been exceptional performers for RCB and KKR respectively in the IPL. However, India’s bowlers have did a fine job in Durban, with spin leading the charge. No questions asked about the batting department clearly after the show by Sanju Samson and co.

Sanju Samson in form, time for Abhishek Sharma to step up

Sanju Samson has been in red-hot form and has all but cemented his place in India’s XI in the shortest format as Rohit Sharma’s replacement as opener. He has smashed back-to-back hundreds and is looking in the best form of his life at the moment. However, at the other end is young Abhishek Sharma, who has managed to get starts but has failed to convert it. The combo of an in-form duo of Samson and Sharma would be a nightmare for any bowler and that is exactly what is expected of Abhishek.
