India vs South Africa T20I Live Score: India take on South Africa in a must-win game – The Times of India

Shoehorned into captaincy, Rishabh Pant (29, 5) has not fired himself so far. He has only three fifties in 45 T20Is with an average of 23.9 and strike-rate of 126.6. As someone who is touted as a future leader, Pant has not inspired enough confidence with his leadership abilities. His decision to promote Axar Patel over designated finisher and the experienced Dinesh Karthik in the second game was baffling, to say the least. Going into the World Cup in Australia later this year, a lot will be expected from the wicketkeeper batter, who can win matches single-handedly and he will look to produce an inspired show tonight.
