The Proteas are almost on the verge of beginning their T20 International series against India and they’ve come with a lot of players to experiment with. However, even India has a few youngsters and therefore it’s obvious that a few players on both sides will be under watch by everyone, as they will follow the India vs South Africa Live Cricket  Score from 15 September 2019.

Hanuma Vihari

This name does not need an introduction anymore, especially to the people who have followed the India vs West Indies Test series even superficially. In fact, no Dream11 team can be said to be a balanced one without Hanuma Vihari in the present scenario. In the two matches played in the series, Hanuma Vihari scored 289 runs and emerged as the leading run-scorer of the Indian team. He also seems to be the best available player to be sealed at the number 6 spot in the batting line up, which was left vacant after the retirement of MS Dhoni. Most of the fans and the experts of cricket would be eyeing Hanuma Vihari’s performance as it will pave his way further into the limited-overs format as well.

Khaleel Ahmed

Khaleel Ahmed has been selected in the T20I squad of India and he’s quite a player to watch out in the series for sure. So far he has played 11 T20 Internationals and taken 11 wickets at an average of 31.90 runs per wicket. A brief look at his stats shows him to be one of the youngsters with great skills and he has shown a fairly nice performance in West Indies as well. With him being given the advantage to play on home turf this time against South Africa, he will surely do justice to his capability. Also, make sure to tune in to India Vs South Africa schedule as he hasn’t made a test debut yet and this series will provide him with a chance to prove his might with the ball.

Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje has played 4 One Day Internationals so far and has taken 8 wickets at an average of 18.75 runs per wicket. He performed well in the ODI series against Sri Lanka which preceded the 2019 ICC World Cup and was later selected for the Proteas World Cup squad as well. However, he was later ruled out due to injuries and is making a comeback after almost 5 months. Therefore, he will be under watch in the series as a player making a comeback has a crucial first series. He has performed well in the series against India A, taking 7 wickets in 4 matches and is expected to reiterate that performance.

Dane Piedt

Dane Piedt is so far one of the most promising youngsters touring India and the Proteas have huge expectations from him to perform on the spin-friendly pitches of India. He has already played a match against India A on the tour and has taken 4 wickets in the match. Therefore, he has raised the expectations of the fans as well as the team. Dane has 24 Test wickets to his name and that too in only 7 matches. Hence, he is going to be South Africa’s Trump Card on the tour.

Bjorn Fortuin

A completely raw face in international cricket, Bjorn Fortuin will be playing the T20 International series against India. He has already made himself familiar with the conditions of the Indian pitches by playing against India A and hence will be a tough nut to crack for the Indians. Also, he has taken 4 wickets in 4 matches against India A and it will be very interesting to watch the game of this young Proteas.
