A shortened ODI gave both teams a lot of insights. For India, Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson turned up nicely while South Africa got a chance to test their middle-order, who delivered strongly. While India struggled early on, the batting line-up looks pretty good and could challenge a full strength South Africa in the games to come.

IND vs SA Key Players

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson is a perennially under-rated cricketer in the Indian team. With a lot of competition, he hardly gets chances but has now come out and proved his worth. His 86 kept India in the game all the way till the end, and he truly is on the rise. With more opportunities on the way, Samson has a strong chance of moving up the ladder.

Hencrich Klaasan

Henrich Klaasan is already well known for his game against spin. He proved his worth with incredible footwork in the first game and is doing a fine job against India, as he normally does.
