South Africa vs India: Will Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik be included in Rohit Sharma's team's playing XI?

About

     On Sunday at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, the second T20I of the three-match series will feature India and South Africa. The team captained by Rohit Sharma has a 1-0 series lead after winning the opening match in Thiruvananthapuram by an 8-wicket margin.  

     Therefore, if the Proteas want to remain in the series, they must win the second T20I. The final T20I match before the T20 World Cup in Australia, India will be eager to secure yet another victory and series victory. 

Possible Playing XI

     Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshal Patel, Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

Overview 

     India used five bowlers in the opening game and easily prevailed. It will be fascinating to see if they give in to the temptation of dropping either Rishabh Pant or Dinesh Karthik in order to add a sixth bowling option to the playing XI.
