South Africa vs India 1st T20, Bhuvi got 5, India wins the first T20 by 28 runs

1st T20 between India and South Africa will be played on Today at 4:30 pm on The Wanderers, Johannesburg. Proteas are playing under the captaincy of JP Duminy while Skipper Virat Kohli is leading team India in all three formats. Suresh Raina is making a comeback in INTL cricket through this series. He played his last T20 match in 2017, while in ODI he is out from the team since 2015 due to a fitness issue. Now he will try to book his place for next year ICC world cup squad. Proteas are seeming this T20 series as a fresh start after losing the ODI series against India. South Africa won the Test series, but they did not succeed to win ODI series and lost it by 5-1. Indian Left-arm-bowler Jaydev Udanakat might be a key factor for India, and team management is considering his presence seriously.
