India vs South Africa: Predicting three players who can become the leading wicket-taker of the series

India are all set to host South Africa for a five-match T20 series starting on the 9th of June. The first match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, while the remaining matches will be played in Cuttack, Visakhapatnam, Rajkot, and Bangalore.

In Rohit Sharma's absence, KL Rahul has been chosen team captain. South Africa, on the other hand, is preparing to field a full-strength side for the series. Here are the players who can pick the most number of wickets in the series.

Kagiso Rabada

The South African star Kagiso Rabada has had many ups and downs recently. To begin with, he did not have a good start in the Indian T20 League 2022. However, he turned the season around and got great results for Punjab. He took 23 wickets in the season, including two four-wicket hauls. He would want to continue his form for his international side as well. Rabada will be an important part of their preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal was in a tough spot ahead of the Indian T20 League 2022. His spot on the Indian squad was questioned, but he proved everyone wrong with his performance in the Indian T20 League 2022. The leg spinner was outstanding for his new side, Rajasthan. He won the purple cap after finishing the season with the most wickets (27). He bowled effectively and will be hoping to maintain his form in the series against South Africa.

Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel has recently emerged as an excellent death bowling option. He has been very consistent in the past and would like to make a mark in international cricket as well. His recent form has not been stellar, but he is capable of improving. The team management would back him to do well in the series to prepare for the upcoming 20-20 World Cup in Australia later this year. He would be a candidate for the Indian squad.
