NEW DELHI: India's triumphant T20I series against Australia serve as the perfect platform to fine-tune strategies and address key player roles ahead of the upcoming challenge against South Africa. The fifth T20I, set to take place at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, is not just a dead rubber but a crucial workshop for the Indian team to evaluate its resources and test combinations before the rigorous series against the Proteas starting on December 10.
Two players in focus for this T20 workshop are Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar, both returning to the shortest format after a substantial hiatus. Iyer, who showcased his fine form during the recent 50-over World Cup, had a rusty outing in the fourth T20I in Raipur, scoring a quick eight runs off seven balls. The Mumbaikar will be eager to find his rhythm in T20Is after more than a year and make a substantial impact, especially considering his previous exploits at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, where he notched up a century against the Netherlands.
