IND vs SA | 1st T20I | Fantasy Tips

After a long wait of three months, the Men in Blue will be back in action at home as they take on the challenge of the South African side. The Indian side will be looking to avenge their defeat during their overseas tour of the Proteas last year.

While senior players have been rested from the tour, many young players are looking forward to representing their nation and stamping their authority on the side.

Rishabh Pant will be leading the side after KL Rahul was ruled out from the series due to a groin injury, with Hardik Pandya acting as his deputy.

After meticulous planning and consideration, we have come up with a list of names to help you make significant profits in the fantasy contests tonight.

Superstars of the game

David Miller: Miller deserves to be in the top tier of the superstars present in this list after his heroics for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the recently concluded edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. ‘Killer Miller’ will look to ride on the momentum and help his side establish a strong foot in the series.

Quinton de Kock: The wicket-keeper batter was terrific, similar to his compatriot, albeit for a different debuting franchise in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The Protea batter had 500+ runs in the season and will look to repeat his performances for the national side.

Hardik Pandya: The GT skipper has stamped his name in history books with golden letters after helping his franchise clinch the title in their debut season. Now Pandya will be seen in a new role for the national side, as the all-rounder has been appointed as the stand-in vice-captain for the Blues. The all-rounder looks in good form and could be the player to watch out for.

Expert Picks for the game

Expert’s take,

Kagiso Rabada: “This will be an interesting outing for the South African pacer. His experience could be a big threat to the young Indian line-up in the absence of the senior players. Rabada has looked good throughout the recently concluded IPL season and could be a big threat.”

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: “The veteran bowler will be crucial throughout the series. He has been a key cog for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, however, he has been on the decline this season, this could be Bhuvi's opportunity to make a comeback and help the young national side with his experience.”

Ishan Kishan: “Kishan will be hungry to prove the critics wrong, who believe he went through a bad season; despite being the highest run scorer for the Mumbai Indians, the batter came under fire for not justifying his price tag. This could be Kishan’s moment to prove his worth.”
