IND vs SA, 1st T20I live score Updates: Arshdeep Singh and Deepak Chahar have rattled South Africa’s top-order with five wickets in the powerplay. Aiden Markram and Wayne Parnell, however, have kept the Indian bowlers at bay and will look to take the Proteas to a respective total. Chahar had earlier got the ball rolling for India with the wicket of the Proteas captain Temba Bavuma in the final ball of the opening over. Arshdeep then dismissed Quinton de Kock, Rilee Rossouw and David Miller in the second over to rattle the visitors. Tristan Stubbs also perished in the third over with Chahar bagging his second. India won the toss and elected to bowl against South Africa in the first T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. India make four changes from the third T20I against Australia, with Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal make way for Deepak Chahar, Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin. (LIVE SCORECARD)
