India vs South Africa 2019: 3 Indian players who must perform in the T20I series

#2 Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey has been around the Indian team for five years now but has been able to cement his place in the team. A middle-order batsman who has all the strokes in his batting style, Pandey will be keen on doing well in this series, with a place in the T20 World Cup squad up for grabs.

Pandey was part of the T20 series winning team in West Indies but his performance was very disappointing in the three matches. He had some opportunities to play some crucial knocks and finish the game for his team but he did not do too well as he finished with just 27 runs from three matches.

From 31 T20I matches, Pandey has amassed 565 runs at a strike rate of 121.51 and with his spot in the playing XIs for the three matches yet again in doubt, he will need to make the most of the opportunities handed out to him.
