How India could line up in the first T20I against South Africa

#8 Kuldeep Yadav

The Chinaman has been outstanding in the ODI series and will be looking to extend his golden run in T20Is as well. The South African batsmen have struggled to read Kuldeep Yadav thus far although the way they manhandled him in the rain-curtailed fourth ODI might act as a ray of hope for the Proteas.

#9 Yuzvendra Chahal

The modern-day T20 specialist, Yuzvendra Chahal isn't naturally gifted like his spin-twin, but his crafty bowling has made him an important part of the Indian set-up. A major tournament like the IPL has turned him into a well-seasoned leggie, who is now a go-to man for Kohli on the biggest stage. The 27-year-old would want to continue his sublime form, having already grabbed a 6-wicket haul in his brief T20 international career so far.
