IND vs SA, 2nd T20I: Kohli Wins Toss, India To Bowl First At Mohali

Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the 2nd T20I at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali.

Virat Kohli-led team India will lock horns with South Africa in the second game of the 3-match T20 series at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium at Mohali in a short while from now. After the series opener got washed out due to persistent rain at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, both teams would be raring to get a game under their belt. Both teams are looking to get some combinations rights and will take the games as a build up to their preparations for the  upcoming ICC T20 World Cup to be held in Australia. While India have a settled look to their squad, South Africa are undergoing a major transition to their team after the retirements of couple of their stalwarts. In the absence of their seasoned skipper Faf Du Plessis, the Proteas are being led by Quinton De Cock. Toss Update: Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl first against the Proteas at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. Kohli: We are gonna bowl first. It's very difficult to defend and it's a great chasing ground. It's a typical Mohali wicket. The pitch is gonna play well too. That is one of the best matches I have been part of.
