"The World Cup defeat was a disappointment, and it is tough to move on from it. But the series win against Australia was a big boost even though it came in a different format."

"The players put their hands up against Australia and came up with fearless cricket, and we need to play the same against South Africa. I just told them (players) to do exactly what they do in franchise cricket."

Team India will face South Africa in the first of three T20Is at Kingsmead in Durban. After registering a 4-1 series victory against Australia at home last month, the team wants to carry on their momentum. Suryakumar Yadav, who stepped into the captaincy role following an injury to Hardik Pandya during the ODI World Cup in October, will continue to lead the side in the T20Is against Proteas. Both teams will look to win this game and get an upper hand in the series.
