South Africa could surprise a lot of teams in T20 World Cup 2022: Ajay Jadeja
India Today
South Africa are set to take part in a three-match T20I series against India before heading to Australia for the T20 World Cup 2022.
Former batter Ajay Jadeja reckoned that South Africa could spring a surprise in T20 World Cup 2022. The Proteas, led by Temba Bavuma, are set to take part in a three-match T20I series against India that starts on Wednesday, September 28 in Trivandrum.
The Proteas will go into the white-ball games after beating Ireland and England in four out of five T20Is.
“South Africa is a team that could surprise a lot of teams in the World Cup and unfortunately, they are in our pool,” Jadeja was quoted as saying on Cricbuzz.
South Africa are placed in Super 12 Group 2 along with Rohit Sharma’s India, Shakib Al Hasan’s Bangladesh, Babar Azam’s Pakistan and two Qualifiers.
Jadeja also reckoned that KL Rahul and Ravi Ashwin are the players to watch out for in the upcoming T20Is against South Africa.
“I think KL Rahul is someone to watch out for and will have a good series. South Africa’s bowling works perfectly for him. He didn’t have as good a series as he would have wanted against Australia,” he stated.
