SA vs IND: Players to Watch out for
Aiden Markram will be a key player for South Africa. He can contribute with the bat and the ball. In the second game, he picked up one wicket and scored 30 off 17; as the captain of the team, he is expected to fire.
Suryakumar Yadav scored an important half-century in the second game but couldn't carry it for long. But he can destroy the bowling attack, as he has throughout his career. SKY will have a big responsibility to take his team to victory to draw the series.
