India vs South Africa: Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Umran Malik who made his mark in the recently concluded IPL 2022 will be a part of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming 5-match T20 series against South Africa.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler has impressed the world of cricket with his thunderous pace which earned him plaudits from current and former cricketers. The efforts were duly noted by the BCCI which selected him for the home series against South Africa.

So which game is Umran Malik likely to make his debut in? Will he feature across the length of the series? how will the team management use him given a hectic IPL season? Find out here.

Since it is a 5-match T20 series it is likely that Umran Malik will feature at one point in the series. Although the team management can decide to use him cautiously given the nature of Indian pitches, it won’t be a surprise if Umran is selected for all five matches.

A lot will depend on how he performs if he is picked. It is obvious that international cricket offers a step up from the IPL and there will be many baying for a chance to take up his spot if he fails to deliver in one or two matches, such is the competition in the Indian team.

This is massive series for India as they are on the cusp of breaking a world record. India has won 12 consecutive T20I matches and is on a level with Afghanistan. India will create history if they manage to beat South Africa in the first T20I. 

In absence of big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India has the chance to test their bench strength against South Africa ahead of the T20 World Cup in October.
