India's T20I XI Faces Potential Changes for Gqeberha Match

India's upcoming T20I match against South Africa in Gqeberha has sparked speculation about potential changes to the playing XI. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra suggests that leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi may be dropped in favor of a two-spinner strategy.

Chopra believes that Axar Patel's all-round abilities and Varun Chakaravarthy's recent performances make them indispensable. Chakaravarthy's ability to take key wickets, as evidenced in the first match, gives him an edge over Bishnoi.

If India opts for two spinners, Chopra predicts that Chakaravarthy and Patel will be the chosen duo. However, the Gqeberha surface may favor a seam-bowling option, potentially opening the door for all-rounder Ramandeep Singh to make his debut.

India's squad for the match includes:

* Suryakumar Yadav (c)

* Abhishek Sharma

* Sanju Samson (wk)

* Rinku Singh

* Tilak Varma

* Jitesh Sharma (wk)

* Hardik Pandya

* Axar Patel

* Ramandeep Singh

* Varun Chakravarthy

* Ravi Bishnoi

* Arshdeep Singh

* Vijaykumar Vyshak

* Avesh Khan

* Yash Dayal
