India and South Africa will lock horns in a three-match T20I series starting Sunday at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

Despite the lack of experience, pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada said there is a belief that South Africa can win against a formidable Indian side.

Kagiso Rabada was all praise for speedster Jasprit Bumrah as South Africa prepares to take on India in the three-match T20I and Test series.

South Africa had won the T20 ad ODI series but lost the Tests during their last tour of India.

The South African captain admitted that it was important to keep the three-format players fresh ahead of the 2019 World Cup.

Hashim Amla has termed Jasprit Bumrah and Kagiso Rabada as the two best bowlers in the world among the current crop.

Rabada, in a recent interview to a cricket website, had recalled an incident during an IPL game when he felt that Kohli lacked maturity. 

South African speedster Kagiso Rabada has initiated the war of words ahead of the game against India, calling Virat Kohli 'immature'.

The South African side is not counted among the favourites for the World Cup, but it has all the qualities to shed the infamous "choker" tag.

While it is obvious that batsmen will find it relatively easy to score runs, the fielding captains will be looking at their strike bowlers to bring in new variety to outsmart the batsmen.

The South African pacers suffered from injuries during the recently-concluded Indian Premier League.

Imran Tahir finished IPL 2019 with 26 wickets from 17 games while Kagiso Rabada had 25 to his name from 12 games for Delhi Capitals.

Rabada, became IPL's highest wicket-taker with 25 scalps for Delhi Capitals before Cricket South Africa pulled him out as a precautionary measure after he complained of stiff back.

David Warner and Kagiso Rabada, both of whom, have left to join their national teams, remain on top of the tree after some incredible performances in the 12 games each they played.

Rabada's absence will thus massive affect the balance of Delhi Capitals, who will be aiming to win their last league game against Rajasthan Royals Saturday, to give themselves two shots in the knock-out stages. 

Rabada had missed Delhi's last match against CSK due to a stiff back and his unavailability is a severe blow to the Capitals, who are striving to win their maiden IPL title.

While DC rested Rabada for the game against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, his scan reports have been sent to CSA to decide on the future course of action.

With 14 points from 11 games, Delhi Capitals are placed second in the points table and the players believe that it has been a collective effort to see team winning matches.

Playing for Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League, the tearaway Proteas quick is the leading wicket-taker with 17 scalps to his name.

CAB President Sourav Ganguly is donning the hat of an advisor at Delhi Capitals, and is expected to sit in the away team's dugout despite a conflict of interest complaint against him.
