IND vs SA: South Africa’s big player out due to Corona, bad news came in the middle of the series

New Delhi. Team India is starting its T20 series campaign from today. In the first match of the 5-match series, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and decided to bowl. Rishabh Pant is captaining for India. KL Rahul ruled out due to injury. At the same time, big players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been rested. Meanwhile, bad news came before the match. South African batsman Aiden Markram has been out of the first T20 due to being Corona positive. However, no official information has been given on this by the BCCI so far.

After the toss, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said that Aiden Markram is not playing due to Corona. In his place, Tristan Stubbs has got a chance to debut. He said that this series is important in terms of T20 World Cup. Apart from this, Wayne Parnell is also returning. At the same time, Indian captain Rishabh Pant said that the pitch is good for batting. In such a situation, batting first will not have much effect.
