India's potential side for first T20I

Keeper and All-Rounder

Dhoni and Pandya would look to get their form back

MS Dhoni

Dhoni has been in poor form in the series as he hasn't been able to get a hold of things in South Africa. He would be looking to get back his form in the T20 series.

Rohit Sharma had used Dhoni at number 4 position in the Srilankan series and it would be interesting to see as to where Kohli decides to use him in this series.

Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya started off the South African series with a brilliant all-round performance in the first test. His performances since then though have been below par.

Pandya has been touted as the next Kapil Dev but the South African series has proven that he still has a long way to go. T20 is his favourite format and India would expect a good performance from him in the series
