IND vs SA / Bavuma may be out of final T20I, will IND try bench strength?

India vs South Africa 5th T20I Probable playing XI: The last match of the 5 T20 match series between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) is to be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. By winning the first two matches of the series, the visiting team pushed India on the back foot, but the young stars of Team India came back strongly and won the next two matches and equalized the African team. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma was injured during the last match played in Rajkot. After retiring, he did not come out to bat till the end. According to media reports, Bavuma was seen with a gulp on Saturday, after which his chances of playing in the final T20 seem slim. In such a situation, who will captain South Africa is a big question. On the other hand, if we talk about Team India, so far India has played all four matches with the same playing XI. Will Team India go with the same 11 players in the last T20 as well or will the players sitting on the bench get a chance. Let's know the probable playing XI of the final T20 match-

Chances of change in Indian playing XI are slim

Rishabh Pant is seen following the path of his mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni as captain. Just as Dhoni used to come with his best playing XI from the beginning of the series or tournament, similarly Pant has also come with his best 11 players in this series. Despite losing the first two matches of the series, the captain did not change his playing XI and his confidence boosted the confidence of the players. The hope is that Pant will not make any changes in the final match as well and the players sitting on the bench will have to wait for the Ireland series.

Keshav Maharaj can take over the captaincy in the absence of Bavuma

If Temba Bavuma is out of today's match, Keshav Maharaj can take over the responsibility of captaincy in his place. Reeza Hendrix might get a chance when Bavuma is out. Apart from this, two more changes can be seen in the playing XI of the visiting team. In the last match, Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell were not able to play due to a swallow injury. It is expected that both these players are now fit and will be available for final T20 selection. Marco Jensen and Tabrez Shamshi can be blamed for the return of these two players.
