India's spin twins were on fire in the ODI series

Kuldeep Yadav

Throughout the ODI series, Kuldeep Yadav continued to bamboozle the Proteas batsmen, who simply didn't have a clue as to what hit them. He finished as the leading wicket-taker in the ODI series and his ability to break partnerships and his understanding with Yuzvendra Chahal just made Virat Kohli's job a lot easier, and that is something he would want to continue in the T20I series.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Along with Kuldeep, Chahal was arguably India's best bowler throughout the ODI series and one of the main reasons why India were able to record such a convincing victory. However, he was playing with the crease a little too much and he will want to ensure that he doesn't miss out on any more wickets due to no balls, which could change the complexion of the game, especially in T20s.
