Last year also, Team India played a 3-match T20 series on the South Africa tour under the captaincy of Surya. Then both the teams won 1-1 and 1 match was washed out due to rain. In such a situation, the Indian team is going to be eyeing to win the T20 series at South Africa's home this time. Which Surya would like to take the field with a strong playing 11.
Sanju Samson can be seen handling the responsibility of opening along with Abhishek Sharma in the first T20 against South Africa. Abhishek Sharma has been handling this responsibility since the T20 World Cup 2024. At the same time, Sanju Samson got a chance to open in the T20 series against Bangladesh.

Varun Chakraborty can be a part of the playing 11 as the second spinner. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh, Yash Dayal, and Avesh Khan can be seen playing as fast bowlers.
