Why is Ramandeep Singh not playing vs South Africa in 1st T20I?

As Ramandeep Singh, who was expected to make his debut in the first T20I against South Africa, is not featuring in the playing XI, what could be the reason behind this?

When Suryakumar Yadav came for the toss in the 1st T20I vs South Africa at Kingsmead, Durban, it was expected that he would back the lineup that has been delivering results. The Indian team is currently enjoying a 10-match winning streak in T20Is, thanks to players like Abhishek Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh, along with bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, who have been doing wonders for the team. All of them are once again expected to perform well now against South Africa.

However, a surprise came as fans anticipated that India might give a debut to explosive all-rounder Ramandeep Singh. But it was a disappointment for his supporters, as this 29-year-old all-rounder is not making his debut in the first T20I against South Africa. Ramandeep is definitely an all-rounder to watch out for, as his performances in the IPL and domestic circuit over the past two years have shown. Although India chose to stick with the winning combination, which could explain why Suryakumar decided not to make changes this time around. Also, RCB pacer Vijaykumar Vyshak, who is in the India squad, has not been included in the playing XI.
