IND vs SA: What Is Head-To-Head Record Between India and South Africa In T20I History; Most Runs, Most Wickets And Other Stats

IND vs SA Head-To-Head Record In T20Is: All eyes will be on India's team combination when they take the field against South Africa in the first T20I match at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Tuesday. Both teams will face off in a five-match T20I series. India will see the returns of a few big names, including skipper Suryakumar Yadav.

Senior all-rounder Hardik Pandya and vice-captain Shubman Gill have received fitness clearance after recovering from their respective injuries and are available for the series opener. The batting order will be in major focus as Suryakumar hinted at not making too many changes. It will be interesting to see whether Sanju Samson will be able to make it to the playing XI.

Gill, who picked up a neck issue and missed the second Test as well as the three-match ODI series, will likely be opening with Abhishek Sharma once again. Shivam Dube will be the third pacer, which means Arshdeep Singh may sit out. On the other hand, Aiden Markram is back as South Africa's captain for the T20Is after being rested for the limited-overs series against Pakistan. He will open with senior batter Quinton de Kock.

Anrich Nortje is set to make his first international appearance since the 2024 T20 World Cup final against India. He has a promising record against Gill and the Indian captain Suryakumar.
