3rd T20I: Unwell Axar And Bumrah Out As India Elect To Bowl Against South Africa
Unwell Axar: Axar Patel is out due to illness, while Jasprit Bumrah misses out due to personal reasons as India won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the third T20I at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday.
The five-game series is now level at 1-1, and a win for either of the two teams will give them the lead. With Axar and Jasprit unavailable, captain Suryakumar Yadav said Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav have been included in the playing eleven.
“It’s been a good wicket all weekend and I don’t think it’ll change much, but there is a little bit of dew already and we feel it might get heavier later on. So, we’re happy to bowl first. It’s a wonderful place, wonderful people, and a fantastic ground. Hopefully when we bat and bowl, we can give everyone some good entertainment.”
