Rohit Sharma’s Team India will look to complete 3-0 T20I series whitewash of South Africa when the two side face-off in the third and final game in Indore on Tuesday (October 4). India have already completed a first-ever bilateral series win over South Africa and will look to sign off with another win ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this month.

The team management have decided to rest both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul for the inconsequential clash but that could mean that Royal Challengers Bangalore all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed could make his international debut while teammate Mohammed Siraj might also make a comeback into the T20I side.
Kohli is likely to be rested for the third T20I between India and South Africa which will be held in Indore on Tuesday. According to BCCI sources, the former India skipper is likely to be rested for the third T20I against Proteas as Kohli needs to be in the best form when India plays their T20 World Cup 2022 opening match against Pakistan at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 23.
India have already gained an unassailable lead of 2-0 over South Africa. With Men in Blue defeating South Africa by eight wickets and 16 runs in the first and second T20I respectively to clinch the series, the third game at the Holkar Stadium on Tuesday evening becomes a dead rubber.
Kohli on Sunday became the first India to complete 11,000 runs in T20 history. He achieved this feat during the second T20I against South Africa here at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Sunday.
