A 5-match T20 series is being played between India and South Africa. In the second match of the T20 series in Mullanpur, India suffered a crushing defeat of 51 runs, due to which the series is tied at 1-1. In this match, the Indian bowlers spent a lot of runs and then the batting was nothing special, due to which the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir once again came under the scanner. Meanwhile, a video of Gambhir and Hardik Pandya is going viral on social media, which has attracted everyone's attention.

Changes in batting order proved costly
In this match, Team India, while chasing the big target of 214 runs, was reduced to only 162 runs.
Shubhman Gill, who is continuously flopping, could not even open his account. At the same time, Akshar Patel, batting at number three, scored only 21 runs in 21 balls. Captain Suryakumar Yadav could also add only 5 runs. Hardik Pandya could only add 20 runs after facing 23 balls. However, Tilak Verma definitely played a fighting inning of 62 runs, but by then it was too late. The surprising thing was that during this innings only a few batsmen came out to play on their regular numbers. Apart from this, new roles were given to the remaining players, which cost the team heavily.Third match in Dharamshala
The third match of the series between the two teams will be played on December 14 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
This match is going to be very important for both the teams. Both teams will have a big chance to take the lead in the series. At the same time, Team India will be eyeing to make a strong comeback.
