T20 World Cup: After India won the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, there has been a marked change in the side’s batting approach. With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli saying goodbye to the format and many first-choice players rested to play Tests, the batters have been as pacy as a Ferrari car when batting in T20Is.

India comes into the series against South Africa on the back of posting a mind-boggling 297/6 against Bangladesh in Hyderabad, the highest score by a full member nation in T20Is. Robin Uthappa, who won the 2007 Men’s T20 World Cup title with the Indian team in South Africa, believes the young batting group will enjoy batting in the rainbow nation, starting from Kingsmead in Durban.

“As far as batting group in concerned, you have to see it's a group of youngsters, and they're still going to be able to find their feet. Durban is considered one of the fastest pitches in the world. So for them playing there will be an experience and I'm looking forward to seeing them get that experience.”
