After concluding with ODI series, Team India and South Africa will lock horns against each other for the five-match T20I series

Ahead of the series, legendary South African pacer Dale Steyn said that the Indian fans will be excited to see Shubman Gill donning the national jersey after recovering from the injury. "Number one: Shubman Gill! Sounds like he's back for India. So, that makes every fan in India pretty excited," he said

The former pacer then said that he is excited to see towering sixes from David Miller, who will be returning to South Africa's T20I mix. "Number two: David Miller. He's back for South Africa. Big hitting David Miller! He hits the ball out of the ground and I'm excited to watch him back," said Steyn

He also said that that two teams will meet for the first time in the format since the T20 World Cup 2024 final and is excited to watch the rivalry. "Number three: South Africa are taking on India in a T20. The last time I watched South Africa play India in a T20 was in a World Cup final in Barbados (ICC Men's T20 World Cup Final 2024). This is going to be a great thing to watch and I am very excited to be part of it," said the 42-year-old former cricketer

The first T20I match between Team India and South Africa is scheduled to be played on December 9 at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack
