After a comprehensive win in the second T20 international in Mohali, India will be looking to deliver the killer blow to the visiting South Africans in the final game of the series in Bengaluru. The Men in Blue had little difficulty chasing down a sub-par score set by the Proteas in the previous game with Virat Kohli leading from the front. At times, the gulf in class was quite evident between the two teams as the hosts went 1-0 up. Visiting South Africa needs to improve their game if they are to level the series which is not an easy job in Indian conditions. A look at the players to watch out for in the 3rd T20I game between India and South Africa. India Vs South Africa, Cricket Score 3rd T20I Match.
Virat Kohli
Bengaluru happens to be the home ground for skipper Virat Kohli when he turns out for RCB in the Indian Premier League. The chase master once again showed his class as his composed innings in Mohali helped India win the contest. The Proteas know they must get him early if they are to stand a chance in match.

Rishabh Pant
Another failure with the bat for this talented wicketkeeper batsman which has brought in more pressure. Rishabh Pant is struggling at the moment with his concentration which coupled with poor shot selections has made his case worse. He must perform in this game or could very well lose his spot in the team.
Deepak Chahar
The Chennai Super Kings bowler has once again showed his worth in the shortest format of the game with consistently good performances. If he manages to keep the Proteas’ batsmen in check in the powerplays again, India will definitely benefit. A flat Bengaluru wicket is going to test his skills though.
Quinton De Kock
Probably the best the visiting South Africans have at the moment in their ranks when it comes to batting. His fifty in the previous match helped the Proteas put up a respectable total on the board but he will have to kick on and get a few more. He knows the conditions in Bengaluru well having been a part of RCB earlier which will be helpful.

Kagiso Rabada
The lead South African pacer was poor in the last game where his swing and pace was clearly missing. In subcontinent conditions the foreign fast bowlers often tend to struggle for wickets and this is where Rabada needs to show his class and rise up to the challenge. If he gets the Indian top order early, the hosts can be put under severe pressure.
Not much of a challenge for the Indians but given the unpredictability involved with T20 cricket, a South African win cannot be ruled out.
