After clinching the T20I series against West Indies, India is all set to play the first T20I game against South Africa at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. The visitors have a change in leadership with the retirement of their stalwart and we have Quinton de Kock as the new skipper of the team. AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn have hung up their boots and Faf Du Plessis is no more handling the reins of the team.

India exactly hasnā€™t had the right combination in the T20Is so far. The infusion of young talent is the right way to prepare for the T20I World Cup. The last time the two teams locked horns with each other was in 2018 at Cape Town. It was India who walked away with the seven-run victory as Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina had set up the game for India.Ā Dream11 Prediction for Team India vs South Africa: Tips to Pick Best All-Rounders, Batsmen, Bowlers & Wicket-Keepers for IND vs SA 1st T20I 2019 Match.
