IND vs SA: Indian team's tour of South Africa is going to be very important in many ways. Suryakumar Yadav will once again captain the T20 series. This time also star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been given rest. Many young players have been given a chance in the T20 team, so that they can cement their place in Team India in the future by showing better play. One of them is Jitesh Sharma. Jitesh Sharma had made a lot of headlines by playing for Punjab Kings in the IPL, meanwhile he has got very few opportunities in the Indian team, but in that too he has forced the selectors to think for themselves by performing satisfactorily. But the question is whether Jitesh Sharma will be given a chance when India and South Africa face each other on December 10.

Jitesh Sharma's performance in two T20 matches against Australia has been like this.

Indian team's first T20 match against South Africa will be played on Sunday, December 10. When the teams of India and Australia were facing each other, Ishan Kishan played the first three matches, but Jitesh Sharma was given a chance in the last two matches. Coming at number six in the fourth and first match of the series, he played an excellent inning of 35 runs on 19 balls. One four and three sky-high sixes came from his bat. After this, in the last match of the series, he played an innings of 24 runs on 16 balls. He hit three fours and a six. That means he faced 35 balls in the series and scored 58 runs. If Jitesh Sharma decides to give another chance then Ishan Kishan may have to sit out.

Jitesh Sharma has been retained by IPL team Punjab Kings.

It is certain that out of Jitesh Sharma and Ishan Kishan, only one player will be given a chance in the playing eleven. In such a situation, it is certainly not going to be easy for Suryakumar Yadav to take this decision. This is the reason why Punjab Kings have decided to retain him this time also. He will definitely play with his team in the IPL, but what happens in the match to be held on December 10, will be decided on the same day i.e. Sunday evening, when Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav and South Africa captain Aiden Markram will decide after the toss. Will come to the middle ground for this.
