India is going to face South Africa on 12th June in the 2nd T20I match of the 5 match T20I series between both the teams. The 2nd T20I is going to be played at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. The Indian team would look to make a great comeback in the next match against South Africa.
The Indian team had a practice session today at Barabati Stadium. It was a packed stadium during the practice session of the Indian team. Several fans visited the stadium to watch Indian stars in action. Usually it’s a rare sight to see a full house in practice sessions.
Usually big Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni in the past don’t like crowds in practice sessions. However, the BCCI allowed fans to see the practice session of the Indian team in Cuttack. Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Umran Malik were some of the stars who took part in this session.

“Our bowling did not go off well”- Bhuvneshwar Kumar accepts bowling failure in 1st T20I
The Indian team faced defeat by 7 wickets in the first T20I match against South Africa in Delhi. South Africa successfully chased down the target of 212 runs set by the Indian team. David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen were stars for South Africa. All the Indian bowlers had a bad performance in the first T20I.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a pre match interview said: ” Our bowling did not go off well and let him down. If we did well then you would have hailed his decision-making skills. I’m sure he will do well. We are aware that we didn’t bowl well in the first match. So we hope to improve, bowl well and level the series. We still have four matches to go, we have matches in hand to bounce back.”
