Suryakumar Kumar explains why Ramandeep Singh has replaced Avesh Khan in the playing eleven from the last game.

Suryakumar Kumar: It is okay. We have done well in the last two games while batting first. The boys have come out with clear plans and are executing it, I have been really happy with that. Just be clear, go out and enjoy yourself (the message from him and the management). These boys have made my job easier. We have one change - Ramandeep makes his debut. Avesh has done well for us but one of the two bowlers had to make a sacrifice.

Here are playing elevens of both sides...

India XI: Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakaravarthy.

South Africa XI: Ryan Rickelton, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram(c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen(w), David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lutho Sipamla.

As per the weather report, the sky will be partly cloudy and the conditions are expected to be good for a cricket match with no significant chance of rain. The temperature is expected to be 26°C in the evening, cooling to 22°C by 8:30 PM (IST).

Varun Chakaravarthy has been impressive for India in the two games played so far. He as 8 wickets in this series and his performance will be key for the Men in Blue in today's game against the Proteas.

Team India face a tough test at the Centurion against South Africa with the 4-match series level at 1-1. In the previous game, it was a bad day at the office for India batters and they will look to bounce back against Proteas bowling attack in this one.

Abhishek Sharma has failed constantly to deliver and his last impressive knock came in July against Zimbabwe when he scored a century. In the last T20I series against Bangladesh, Abhishek could only manage 35 runs. It will be a do or die situation for him at the moment if he gets picked for the match today.
