SA vs IND: 5 South African players you must have in your Dream11 team
The SA vs IND four-match T20I series will take place from November 8 to 15.
After the humiliation at home in the test series against New Zealand, India have another big T20I assignment in South Africa. India and South Africa will play a four-match T20I series, starting on November 8 in Durban.
India’s T20I squad is totally different from the test squad, which will be in the tour of Australia. South Africa will have in their minds the heartbreaking defeat in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
So, they will aim for revenge over the Asian side, and for that, the hosts have selected a strong squad.
Let’s discuss the five South African players whom you should pick in your Dream11 team for the upcoming T20I series.
Here are the five South African stars you must have in your Dream11 team for the SA vs IND T20I series:
5. Marco Jansen
Star all-rounder Marco Jansen comes with a match-winning ability with the ball. He can also contribute with the bat lower down the order. Though his performance in the final against India was below par, Jansen is one of the finest new ball bowlers in the world, and is a proper wicket-taker in his home conditions.
His height and pace make him a dangerous prospect with the new ball. Not to forget his hitting ability. He can be a crucial player in your Dream11 team.
4. Tristan Stubbs
Tristan Stubbs is South Africa’s rising star across formats. He always had a power game, but his maturity as a batter has made him more consistent in recent times.
He can take on India’s bowling unit and can take the game away singlehandedly, which is why he should be among your first-choice South African players in your Dream11 team.
3. David Miller
David Miller had an opportunity to take South Africa to the T20 World Cup title but he fluffled it in the last over. He must be looking to overcome that with some match-winning performances in the SA vs IND T20Is.
His experience and consistency are ideal to make him the right person to pick in your Dream11 team in the upcoming series. Miller can take apart the inexperienced Indian bowling unit in this series.
2. Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram’s form has dipped in international cricket in recent months, but he is a big match-winner in T20 cricket. He is the captain of the side and would want to lead from the front with his bat.
Markram has improved as a bowler as well and is a wicket-taker against left-handers. His all-round skillset makes him a perfect option for captain or vice-captain roles for your Dream11 team for the SA vs IND T20I series.
1. Heinrich Klaasen
Heinrich Klaasen is the most expensive retention of the Indian Premier League (IPL)2025, which is a testament to his growing status as a T20 match-winner.
Klaasen is among the most dangerous T20I hitters in the world currently and has been for some time. He almost won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final against India but faltered towards the end.
Nonetheless, Klaasen is someone whom you must pick in your Dream11 team and you can also select him as the captain of your team. He can give additional points with the gloves.
