The veteran wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya and youngster Umran Malik are the notable addition to India's T20 squad after their superb stint in the recently-concluded IPL 2022.

KL Rahul will lead the Team India against the Proteas and it would be interesting to see what would be the batting position for Hardik Pandya given Rishabh Pant is also in the side. Pant generally bats at the number 4 position, however, Hardik's recent exploit at Number 4 position in IPL 2022 would give the Rahul Dravid-led team management to test different players at various positions.

India and South Africa will play their first T20 match at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi and this will be the first time since the outbreak of Covid-19 that there will be no bio-bubble for players. The five-match series will conclude on June 19 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
