Cricket / This dangerous player will join the team in place of Rituraj! Will be the opening partner of Ishaan Kishan

IND vs SA: In the series against South Africa, Ruturaj Gaikwad could not perform according to his name. It has become difficult to get runs from his bat.

This player can get a place

Venkatesh Iyer can be included in place of Rituraj Gaikwad in the fifth T20 match against South Africa. Iyer has immense experience of opening, which can be useful for Team India.

Rituraj flopped

In the series against South Africa, he got an opportunity to open in place of Rohit Sharma, but he could not take advantage of it.

New opening pair can be formed

If Venkatesh Iyer gets a chance to open the innings with Ishan Kishan, then Team India will get a new opening pair. Venkatesh Atishi is an expert player in batting. If Venkatesh Iyer performs well in the series against South Africa, then he can get a place in the T20 World squad.

All eyes will be on Dinesh Karthik

In the last match, Dinesh Karthik played a brilliant innings. He played an innings of 55 runs in 27 balls. Captain Rishabh Pant will be expecting a big innings from him in this match.

If India wins today's match, then Team India will create history.
