However, he will face a real challenge in South Africa as the team has talented players like Tristan Stubbs, Aiden Markram, and many more. Captain Markram will lead the team and will try his best to beat the in-form Indian team. All four games are expected to be competitive, increasing the series' thrill and fun factor. 

Weather Report

As the players and the fans are excited about the series, rain might play a spoilsport with its intervention.
