South Africa. The Indian team is slated to play across all three formats-- T20, ODIs and Tests--, starting with the T20Is on Sunday.
As the T20 World Cup looms on the horizon next year, the management has strategically focused on nurturing young talents. Suryakumar will continue to lead a young brigade, given the absence of many senior players. Ravindra Jadeja will serve as his deputy, with Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, and Mohammed Siraj completing the roster.
The T20Is will be followed by the 50-over format, where KL Rahul will take charge. Notably, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not in consideration for the white-ball format. The tour will culminate with a two-match Test series, marking the return of Kohli and Rohit after the ODI World Cup. Seasoned pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are also making a comeback for the red-ball format, promising an intense battle in the challenging South African conditions.
