Team India is going to play a four-match T20 series against South Africa from November 8. Kolkata Knight Riders player Ramandeep Singh has also got a place in the Indian squad, which clearly indicates that the management is looking for a backup for Hardik Pandya. Let us tell you, after the victory in T20 World Cup 2024, Team India is going through a phase of change.

Meanwhile, former Indian player Parthiv Patel has given a big statement regarding Ramandeep Singh getting a chance. He said that India is looking for players who are medium pacer all-rounders because if Hardik Pandya gets injured, his replacement is not available.

Parthiv Patel himself said this about new players getting a chance in the team.

Recently, during a discussion on Colors Cineplex, Parthiv Patel was asked what his expectations were from India’s South Africa tour, to which he replied,

India has started taking steps towards change. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired as soon as the T20 World Cup ended. Ravindra Jadeja also retired. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy. This is permanent captaincy, it is not to fill the vacant place, because earlier Rohit Sharma used to come back and captain.

Parthiv Patel further said,

You will keep seeing new faces in the team. Nitish Kumar Reddy is not in the team since going on Australian tour. You talked about Ramandeep Singh. India is looking towards utility players who are medium pace all-rounders because we have seen many times that if Hardik Pandya gets injured, we do not get a replacement for him.
