IND vs SA, 4th T20I LIVE Score: India opt to bat

Suryakumar Yadav: We are going to bat first. We have been doing that well in the last 2-3 games and we want to stick to that. The plan has been clear from the first game. Putting runs on the board and defending is something we have been wanting to do. It is a quick turnaround, one day gap between the games but the boys are professionals. Same team.

Aiden Markram: We weren't sure. Probably leaning towards batting. We haven't put hundred percent in all three departments. We are edging towards it. We can't win the series but we pulled one back after being 1-0 down, so we can take confidence from that and try to level the series. We are going with the same team.

IND vs SA, 4th T20I LIVE Score:

Arshdeep Singh, who has taken 92 T20I wickets in 59 matches, is poised to become India's top wicket-taker in the format. Should Arshdeep achieve a five-wicket haul, he will surpass leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for the record.
