IND vs SA 2nd T20I: The second match of the T20 series will be played today in Cuttack. India was defeated by 7 wickets in the first T20. In such a situation, India will have to win the match in any case today. Due to the absence of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant has been made the substitute captain for this T20I series. Pant’s captaincy in the first T20 was ineffective. Apart from this, the bowling was also very bad. In such a situation, in the second T20 today, the bowlers of Team India would like to come back to the rhythm and speak.
There has been a match between the two teams on this ground in which South Africa got the victory. At the same time, in the last T20 held at this ground, India defeated Sri Lanka by a big margin. Everyone’s eyes are also on what will be India’s playing XI in today’s match. Everyone’s eyes are on Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik, both of whom have made their place in Team India by showing a great game in the IPL. However, before the first T20, coach Rahul Dravid had indicated that the debut of these players may be delayed. In such a situation, it is expected that even today Umran and Arshdeep will not debut.
Pitch Report
