There's history to be made as India host South Africa in a five-match T20I series. The Men in Blue are looking to make it 13 victories on the spin in the shortest format of the game - something no other international side has done. However, injuries and circumstance have ruled several key men out, not least skipper Rohit Sharma and his stand-in KL Rahul. Can the Proteas take advantage? Follow our guide as we explain how to watch an India vs South Africa T20 international live stream from anywhere.

Rishabh Pant is on captaincy duty and, with an important tour of England on the horizon, it's a young squad at his disposal. Making the situation all the stranger for Pant is that fellow wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik is one of the India's in-form players, having been the Royal Challengers' go-to finisher in the recently-concluded IPL.
At 37 Karthik is not exactly one for the future though, unlike Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik, who are looking to stake their claim to a regular place in the team in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.
The return of Anrich Nortje is a very welcome one for South Africa, who have had to get used to life without their star pacer, who's been plagued by a hip injury. Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada and David Miller all had excellent IPL campaigns, while Tabraiz Shamsi has been in wonderful form in the CSA One-Day Cup. Rassie van der Dussen is always a key man on the international stage.
