Suresh Raina In Focus As Virat Kohli And Team Aim To Continue Dominance

Capetown, Feb 18: Test and One-day cricket done with, India and South Africa now gear up to play three T20 Internationals at Johannesburg, Centurion and Cape Town over the next one week.

The short-form series begins at Wanderers in Johannesburg on Sunday, with Virat Kohli looking to extend his electric form in white-ball cricket.

Duminy has been handed the responsibility of leading a relatively inexperienced African side which includes the likes of uncapped Christiaan Jonker, Reeza Hendricks, Dane Paterson and Junior Dala.

Virat Kohli and his team would aim to carry the momentum and intensity forward into the shortest format. Focus, though, will be on Suresh Raina as he makes a comeback into the national team after a year away.

Teams:

India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur.

South Africa: JP Duminy (captain), Farhaan Behardien, Junior Dala, AB de Villiers, Reeza Hendricks, Christiaan Jonker, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Chris Morris, Dane Paterson, Aaron Phangiso, Andile Phehlukwayo, Tabraiz Shamsi, Jon-Jon Smuts.
