IND vs SA: 3 Indian Players Who Might Be Benched Throughout The T20 Series

1. Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin is the first player on this list. Yuzvendra Chahal is the top spinner for India in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Hence, the team will give him more opportunities in the IND vs SA T20I series.

Moreover, after his outstanding performance in the IND vs AUS T20I series, Axar Patel might take the spin all-rounder’s spot in the T20I matches against South Africa as well. Hence, Ashwin might have to warm the bench in all three T20I games against South Africa.

2. Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar is one of the pacers for India in the IND vs SA T20I series. Chahar is only a stand-by player in T20 World Cup 2022 squad. On the other hand, pacers like Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Harshal Patel are part of the T20 World Cup 2022 squad.

Hence, these pacers are more likely to get opportunities in India vs South Africa T20I series so that they can prepare themselves for the forthcoming ICC tournament. Hence, Deepak Chahar might be benched in all three T20I games against South Africa.

3. Deepak Hooda

Deepak Hooda is another player who might be benched throughout the IND vs SA T20I series. There is a crucial debate over the inclusion of either Dinesh Karthik or Rishabh Pant in the playing XI as a wicketkeeper during the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2022.

Since Hardik Pandya is not part of the India vs South Africa T20I series, the team might rope in both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik in the playing XI to analyse who will be a better performer for the team. Hence, Deepak Hooda might not be picked as a middle-order batsman against South Africa.
