<p>November was a month of peaks and valleys for India, with them winning all tournament games but losing the final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and then winning a 5-match T20I series with a 4-1 lead against Australia. After losing their semifinal match at Eden Gardens against Australia, South Africa will begin their rebuilding on Sunday when they host the first of three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against India at Kingsmead.</p>

<p>Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammad Siraj are back on the side after a break of around 20 days. Besides them, a similar Indian squad to the Australia series is named and Surya Kumar Yadav is opted to lead the Indian side. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sa-vs-ind-squads-for-t-20-is"><strong>SA vs IND Squads For T20Is</strong></h2>



<p><strong>South Africa&nbsp;Squad</strong>: Reeza Hendricks, Matthew Breetzke, Tristan Stubbs, Aiden Markram(c), Heinrich Klaasen(w), David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Burger, Tabraiz Shamsi, Ottniel Baartman, Marco Jansen, Donovan Ferreira, Lizaad Williams</p>



<p><strong>India&nbsp;Squad: </strong>Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Kishan, Mukesh Kumar, Washington Sundar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Kuldeep Yadav</p>



<p>The Proteas last played a T20I series against Australia in August. The Aussies were too strong in that series and defeated the Proteas 0-3. Now that the first Twenty20 International is underway, South Africa will try to make modifications to defeat India.</p>



<p>With Kagiso Rabada resting and Anrich Nortje hurt, the fast bowling department is already lacking in experience. Lungi Ngidi's departure on Friday due to a sprained ankle erodes that even further. Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen are missing from the batting order.</p>

<p>Bowlers, especially seamers who get more movement from surface moisture, are known to benefit from the Kingsmead pitch. Batsmen may still score a lot of runs if they spend a bit of time in the center of the pitch, even in these bowler-friendly conditions. But one might anticipate a flat top in a T20 match.</p>



<p>In an attempt to put a big total on the board, toss-winning&nbsp;teams frequently choose to bat first. Given the condition of the ground, Kingsmead fans may expect an exciting and high-scoring match if weather allows.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs SA 1st T20I: </strong>Team India's stand-in captain, Suryakumar Yadav, for the upcoming three-match T20I series against South Africa is eyeing to equal run-machine Virat Kohli's record in the T20Is. The batter will aim to surpass Virat Kohli in the list of players with 2000 T20I runs in the fewest innings as he takes guard in the opening T20I against South Africa in Durban. </p>



<p>Notably, Virat Kohli is the fastest Indian batter to score 2000 international runs in the T20 format by taking just 56 innings. The second in the elite list is KL Rahul, who achieved this milestone in 58 innings, while Rohit Sharma is third in the order after he took 77 innings to complete 2000 runs.</p>



<p>Suryakumar Yadav is just 15 runs away from touching the magic number of 2000 runs in the T20Is. The sublime batter has amassed 1985 T20I runs in 55 innings and needs to score 15 or more in the first T20I against South Africa in Kingsmed, Durban.</p>



<p>The milestone is important as the other players in the elite list of fastest to score 2000 T20I runs are top-order batters, but Suryakumar Yadav is a middle-order batter, who is often kept safe until the last 5 overs of the innings. Interestingly, more than half of his runs have come at a strike rate of 165 in the middle orders.</p>



<p>The overall record is jointly held by Pakistan's opening duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who have individually scored 2000 T20I runs in just 52 innings. Indian maestro batter Virat Kohli is third in the list followed by KL Rahul and Aaron Finch. </p>



<p>Below is the list of players who have been fastest to 2000 T20I runs:</p>

<p>When asked about Team India's possible combination for the first T20I against South Africa in Durban, the stand-in captain said the team has internally finalised the playing11 for the game. He asserted that the management is clear in its approach and understands what is required.</p>



<p>"We have the combination in mind. We know who is going to open tomorrow, and perhaps, will take a final call after the practice session today," said Suryakumar Yadav in the pre-match press conference for the IND vs SA 1st T20I.</p>



<p>The captain seems to be pleased with how his players have turned up after India's World Cup 2023 defeat. India got back to business with a five-match T20I series against Australia, a few days after India's painful defeat against Australia in the World Cup 2023 Final in Ahmedabad. </p>



<p>"The players put their hands up against Australia and came up with fearless cricket, and we need to play the same against South Africa. I just told them (players) to do exactly what they do in franchise cricket," he remarked.</p>



<p><strong>India's expected Playing11: </strong>Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh</p>

<p><strong>IND vs SA 1st T20I:</strong> The India tour of South Africa 2024 is just about to begin today with the first T20I. The visitors India will take on the hosts South Africa in the first T20I today at <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-series/8404/india-tour-of-south-africa-2024/venues/74/kingsmead">Kingsmead,?Durban</a>. Here, in this post, we have brought to you the IND vs SA 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction, Strongest Playing11s, Full Squads, and More.</p>

<p>India and South Africa are set to engage in a four-match T20I series but they had an even fierce battle in the finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 where the former prevailed. South Africa were just on the doorstep of history but it was a valiant and ferocious effort from the bowling unit of India to turn the game in their favor in the last five overs. </p>

<p>It?s uncommon for a men?s T20I series to act as a precursor to a franchise tournament?s player auction, but the IPL is no ordinary competition. With the auction for next year?s season approaching on November 24 and 25, numerous players featured in the T20I series between South Africa and India will undoubtedly be feeling the pressure as they eye potential IPL contracts.</p>



<p>The players will be focused on the series victory but a part of their conscience would be on the IPL Auction in a couple of weeks. An age-old cricket proverb claims that the sport is a team game for individuals, and while that still holds true, there?s a twist in this case. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/11/IMG_20241107_182932-795x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-149309" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2025 Mega-Auction | Image: X (IPLnCricket) </figcaption></figure>



<p>Over the next week in South Africa, the focus will shift entirely to individual performances. For 16 players, it won?t be about playing for the team, but rather about impressing the owners of the 10 IPL franchises in hopes of securing a coveted contract.</p>



<p>This series is going to be important for all the players and they will be eyeing to best of their performances in the series. Let's take a look at the IND vs SA 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction, Strongest Playing11s, Full Squads, and More:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="eng-vs-aus-1st-t-20-i-full-squads"><strong>IND vs SA 1st T20I Full Squads</strong></h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="kingsmead-durban-pitch-report"><strong>Kingsmead, Durban Pitch Report</strong></h2>



<p>Durban is known for having the slowest pitches in South Africa, though they won't resemble typical subcontinental surfaces. While the city has a reputation for frequent rain interruptions during cricket matches, the forecast for Friday indicates that weather shouldn?t pose an issue. </p>



<p>One can expect a evenly poised match between the ball and the bat. The average first innings score at Kingsmead is 136 but both sides are capable of much higher scores than this. </p>
