Prelude - 2nd T20I, Guwahati
Much has changed since India cantered to victory in Trivandrum four nights ago. India's think tank will have spent much of the time between these two days contemplating a contingency in case Jasprit Bumrah doesn't make it to the World Cup. Rahul Dravid remains hopeful of a positive prognosis but what cannot be denied is that it's not the situation Rohit and Dravid would have wanted to be with 2 matches and 2 warm-ups left before that big Indo-Pak encounter at the MCG on October 23.
That said, there is still some time on the drawing board. And against a strong South Africa squad, who'll want to put their batting debacle from the other night down to a rare off day at the office. The visitors have a proud record to uphold - that of never having lost a T20I series in India.
Will they? Toss and teams coming up. You can warm-up for the game with our preview.
