India's T20 Woes: Batting Collapse Puts Series on the Line

Team India seeks a T20 series comeback after a significant batting collapse against South Africa. Potential lineup changes, including Sanju Samson, are discussed.

Following a convincing win in the first T20I, Suryakumar Yadav's team India experienced a significant setback, losing the second T20I by 51 runs. South Africa posted a formidable 213/4, powered by Quinton de Kock's 90, a total India's batting lineup failed to chase, despite Tilak Varma's 62.

The batting order is under scrutiny, with Shubman Gill's recent form being a concern. A potential switch could see Sanju Samson opening, aiming to replicate his previous strong performances. Captain Suryakumar Yadav is also seeking to regain his scoring touch, though leadership changes are not anticipated.

Looking ahead to the third T20I in Dharamsala, conditions are expected to favor fast bowlers, potentially leading to the inclusion of Harshit Rana. Strategic batting order adjustments are also being considered to bolster the team's performance and level the series.
