Now, the 'Men in Blue' are left with just five T20Is – two more against the Proteas and three games against Afghanistan at home in January – ahead of next year라이브 바카라 showpiece in the West Indies and the USA.바카라 웹사이트
In that context, India would have liked to make a head start to their search for a perfect blend at Kingsmead but rain put paid to those hopes temporarily.바카라 웹사이트
With the IPL 2024 preceding the T20 World Cup, the Indian think-tank will certainly bank on the league to identify the ideal 15 for the marquee event.바카라 웹사이트
India stand-in captain Suryakumar suggested as much.바카라 웹사이트
"I feel there are limited T20s going forward, before the T20 World Cup. But then we play 14 league games in the IPL as well,” Suryakumar had mentioned during his pre-match press meet on Saturday.바카라 웹사이트
But then nothing really can supplant the confidence a player can accrue while performing well in international matches, and the weight of a good outing doubles if the touring destination is South Africa.바카라 웹사이트

The first-time visitors to the 'Rainbow Nation' such as Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Singh etc would have been eager to get that unique taste of cricket in바카라 웹사이트Durban and now they would have to wait till Tuesday for the second match at St George's Park at Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth.
From a leadership perspective, Suryakumar has done a very fine job while stepping in for injured Hardik Pandya during the home T20I series against the Aussies.바카라 웹사이트

The Durban T20I could also have handed India a chance to test their options for the sixth bowler slot, something that assumes importance as Pandya라이브 바카라 fitness continues to be iffy.바카라 웹사이트
They, perhaps, could have tried the part-time spin of Tilak Varma, who recently bowled a few overs for Hyderabad in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.바카라 웹사이트
Suryakumar did not provide a definite answer to the sixth bowling conundrum, but said they have enough personnel in their ranks to fill in that role.바카라 웹사이트
"It is not like we don’t have a sixth bowling option. When the right time comes, you will see the sixth bowler or maybe the seventh or eighth (bowler)," he had said. 바카라 웹사이트
But for now, India will have to hit the meeting room and reinforce their plans ahead of the second match.
