After facing a drubbing at the hands of New Zealand, India's young guns, led by Suryakumar Yadav, are set to play a four-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series starting on November 8 in South Africa.
With two major events scheduled for next year—the ICC World Test Championship final in 2025 and the Champions Trophy in February—the significance of the South Africa versus India T20 series has diminished.
However, the four-match series provides a valuable opportunity for young players to showcase their talent against one of the best teams in the world. And with IPL 2025 mega auction scheduled to take place in last week of November, the fringe players have a chance to score big and grab maximum eyeballs of the franchisees.
