Apart from Delhi, the rest four games will be played in Cuttack, Visakhapatnam, Rajkot and Bengaluru.
KL Rahul will lead the Indian side in the series, whereas Rishabh Pant will be the vice-captain of the side. The players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are rested to manage their workload. Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh are included in the team, whereas Dinesh Karthik is also called back after a successful IPL with RCB.
South Africa are at their full strength, and they would want to get a win in this series. Players like David Miller and Aiden Markram batted beautifully in the IPL, and they will play an important part. The bowling of the side is great as well.

Under the leadership of captain Temba Bavuma, the players have started their preparation for the series against India. There are quite a few players who played their part in the IPL, so they will certainly be more acclimatized to the conditions of the Indian pitches.
Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, etc all of them played an important part for their team in the IPL. The spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi did not play the IPL, and they will play an important part in this series. Both of them have started their preparation in Delhi.
