IND vs SA: Most runs in India SA T20I encounters
India and South Africa will lock horns for the third time in 2022 when they meet for the three T20Is followed by the three ODIs. The two teams last met in June 2022 for a five-match T20I series, which ended in a 2-2 tie after the final game was washed out. The Indian side was led by Rishabh Pant in the absence of the senior players.
That won’t be the case this time around, because the Indian team will have the services of its senior, and in-form, players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Jasprit Bumrah to name a few. South Africa will be touring India for the bilateral series and the first T20I will be played on September 28. On that note, let us look at the players with the most runs from India vs South Africa T20I encounters-
3. JP Duminy- 295 runs
Former South African all-rounder JP Duminy ranks third on this list. He has scored 295 runs from 10 innings at a strike rate of 121.90 and a brilliant average of 59.00. Of the 10 innings, Duminy was dismissed only five times and remained unbeaten in the other five games.
2. Suresh Raina- 339 runs
The former Indian all-rounder Suresh Raina is placed second on this list. In the 11 innings he played against the Proteas, Raina amassed 339 runs at an average of 33.90 and a heavy strike rate of 148.03. The southpaw, who has now retired from all formats of the game, enjoyed batting against the Proteas and played a role in plenty of Indian wins.
1. Rohit Sharma- 362 runs
The Indian all-format skipper holds the No. 1 rank and stands on top of the list with 362 runs under his belt against the Proteas. In the 12 innings, he has amassed those runs at a strike rate of 134.07 and an average of 32.90. He had been rested when the two teams met previously but will be leading the side this time around as the two teams gear up for the T20 World Cup 2022.
