South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and elected to bowl first in the third T20I against India. “The wicket looks good and we want to chase over here. We haven’t been good in the last two games and it is high time to give our best performance,” Aiden Markram said.

Suryakumar Yadav wanted to bat first. “We wanted to bat first as it is a good wicket and it is important to put runs on the board. The boys have done well and the spinners have made my job easily. I have told my players to enjoy themselves. Avesh Khan misses out and Ramandeep Singh is making his debut,” Suryakumar Yadav said.

India XI: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (capt), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy

South Africa XI: Ryan Rickelton (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (capt), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Andile Simelane, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lutho Sipamla
