How will Team India face South Africa’s pace attack, will Rohit Sharma make changes in the playing XI?
Team India is seen performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. Till now Team India has played 2 matches and it has won in both. In the first match, the Indian team won against Pakistan in an exciting way. At the same time, in the second match against the Netherlands, India won a one-sided victory. However, now the real challenge for India is the South African team. South Africa and the Indian team have been placed in Group Two of the World Cup. Both the teams have to play the Super-12 match in Perth. However, the biggest question about this match is that how will the Indian team face the South African bowlers?

South African bowlers prove to be quite lethal on bouncy and fast pitches in Australia. South African bowling is considered to be very good. South Africa’s fast bowling was excellent in the last match as well. Apart from this, his spin attack is also very good. Indian batsmen will have to face a tough test on fast and bouncy pitches against fast bowlers like Kagiso Rabada and Enrique Norcia. Indian batsmen Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav can be a big test in front of both these fast bowlers. Rabada specializes in swinging the ball at a speed of 145 km, while Norkia delivers the ball at a speed of 150 km. In such a situation, hand and eye coordination in the powerplay overs will be important to face these two bowlers.

Indian batsmen have to play according to the conditions. Due to the extra bounce, the batsmen will get less time to play the shot. South African batsmen are in good form. So Indian bowlers will also be tested. Quinton de Kock, Riley Rosso and David Miller play the Indian bowlers well. The only worry at the top of the order for South Africa is the poor form of skipper Temba Bavuma, whose game is not T20 friendly. However, he has two attractive batsmen in the form of Tristan Stubbs and Rosso who can dominate the Indian bowlers. Among Indian bowlers, only Mohammed Shami can bowl at a speed of 140 kmph.
Rohit Sharma will change the team
On the Perth pitch, it is believed that Rohit Sharma can make changes in the team. The Indian team was the same in both the last matches. India was taking the field with two spin bowlers and three fast bowlers. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya was in the role of all-rounder. However, in India, the Indian team can go with four fast bowlers. Axar Patel or Yuzvendra Chahal could play the role of the fifth spinner. With Axar Patel in the team, the batting order can also look strong. The biggest question for India right now is also KL Rahul’s form. KL Rahul has not been able to do anything special in both the matches so far. In such a situation, it has to be seen how his bat plays against South Africa. It is believed that Rishabh Pant can also be given a chance in place of Dinesh Karthik against South Africa. Karthik’s wicketkeeping has not been up to the mark in the first two matches.
