IND vs SA 3rd T20: India wins toss, fields; Gill retained, Samson benched

  • India won the toss and opted to field in the crucial 3rd T20 against South Africa, with the five-match series tied at 1-1.
  • India made two changes: Axar Patel (illness) and Jasprit Bumrah (personal reasons) were replaced by Kuldeep Yadav and Harshit Rana.
  • Shubman Gill retained his spot despite poor form in the first two T20s, leading to fan criticism of coach Gautam Gambhir's decision to bench Sanju Samson.
  • South Africa made three changes to their playing XI, citing workload management as the reason.

Why It Matters: India's controversial team selection, favoring Gill, sparks fan outrage and pressure.
