India vs South Africa: Men in Blue's tour off to a damp start with Durban T20I ending in a complete washout

Firstpost  

Incessant rain at Durban’s Kingsmead resulted in the match getting called off without the two captains even getting to flip the coin. Durban: India’s tour of South Africa got off to a damp start on Sunday with the first T20I in Durban ending in a complete washout where not even the toss could take place. The washout comes as a blow for the Men in Blue, who have just five T20Is left to find their ideal combination for the T20 World Cup that takes place next summer, including the two remaining fixtures of the ongoing series in Gqeberha and Johannesburg. India face Afghanistan in a three-T20I series between the South Africa tour and a five-Test series against England at home. The Durban T20I could also have handed India a chance to test their options for the sixth bowler slot, something that assumes importance as Pandya’s fitness continues to be iffy.
