India vs South Africa T20i Series: The next task for the Indian cricket team is now about to begin. The four-match T20 series between India and South Africa will begin on November 8. The series will be played in South Africa and Team India has announced its participation. The series is expected to be interesting with Suryakumar Yadav as captain. If we talk about India’s T20 internationals against South Africa, only three batsmen of India have been able to score hundreds against the opposing team so far. Let us introduce them to you.
Suresh Raina scored a century in T20 Internationals against South Africa in 2010.
Suresh Raina is the first Indian batsman to score a century in a T20 international against South Africa. In 2010, he scored 101 runs off 60 balls. During this period, he hit 9 fours and 5 sky-high sixes with the bat. Thereafter, after a long wait, the Indian batsman scored a century in this manner against South Africa in 2015. The batsman was none other than Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav also accomplished this feat
Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 79-ball 106 in the 2015 India vs South Africa match in Dharamshala. He hit 12 fours and 5 sixes. After that we had to wait again. In 2023, Suryakumar Yadav ended this century-old drought. Suryakumar Yadav scored 100 runs in 82 balls in the T20 international against South Africa that year. There were 7 fours and 8 sixes in his innings. Since then, no Indian batsman has scored a hundred against South Africa.
This time too, the Indian batsmen are expected to score a century.
Now another series of four T20 matches will be played. This time, freshmen and young players got their chance under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. In this scenario, there is a good chance that another batsman from the Indian team will score a hundred against South Africa, but it will certainly be interesting to see whether this is possible.
