The Suryakumar Yadav-led India cricket team will lock horns with South Africa in the IND vs SA 1st T20I in Kingsmead, Durban. The two sides last met in the T20 World Cup final earlier this year when the Proteas were handed a heartbreak as India lifted the trophy. India will be in action in the shortest format of the game for the first time since the series against Bangladesh. Both sides will be aiming to get off to a winning start, should rain not play spoilsport.
India’s national anthem disrupted
During the pre-match proceedings at the first T20 between India and South Africa at Kingsmead, there was an unexpected disruption during India’s national anthem. As the anthem began, the audio feed suddenly broke down, creating a moment of confusion. The national anthem was played in full, with the players standing in respect.
