In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra anticipated that Ishan Kishan and Shreyas will make a significant contribution with the bat.

He observed: “I believe Ishan and Iyer will score more than 55 runs. Please, Iyer, be on fire. Please score runs today; I believe that the person will score runs.”

Aakash Chopra believes Quinton de Kock will be South Africa’s star batsman.

Chopra reasoned: “Quinton de Kock will be South Africa’s leading run-scorer in this game because his success is inextricably linked to his. He decided to give up, did not run at all in the last game, for reasons I do not understand.”

Aakash Chopra on Rishabh Pant:

Aakash Chopra was especially irritated by Pant’s repeated dismissal of nearly identical fashions. He noticed:

“At the present time, India’s best batsmen in T20s are all keepers. It is an intriguing situation to be in. More than Rishabh Pant’s type, he is unable to respond to the strategy devised against him, which is the big question, as they are constantly bowling outside off stump and he is getting trapped.”
