IND vs SA 1st T20I Live Score Updates: Rishabh Pant-led India would look to start off in a clinical fashion against the visitors' Proteas.

Earlier, South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to field against India in the first T20I of the five-match series at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan will open for India with the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik manning the middle order. The Proteas started with spin as Keshav Maharaj gave away 13 runs in the first over. He got rid of Ruturaj Gaikwad in the seventh over.

South Africa 212 for 3 (van der Dussen 75*, Miller 64*) beat India 211 for 4 (Kishan 76, Shreyas 36, Parnell 1-32) by seven wickets.

It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. It was expected that Miller would be the batter to keep South Africa in the game - given his impressive IPL - and he did exactly that. But van der Dussen, oft-criticised for his slow scoring rate, could not get the ball away as regularly until he broke the toe-end of his bat and had to change it for another. Kishan was on 52 and went on to add 24 more to his score, most of it off Maharaj. The very next ball, there was an opportunity to run out Rishabh Pant for a duck at the non-striker's end, when he wanted to sneak a run but collided with Rabada. Stubbs lobbed the ball over the fielder backing-up at that end. Pretorius swung hard and got the short, full, and length ball over the leg side before Harshal broke through his defences with a slower ball and took out off stump. Then, three balls past the halfway mark, Maharaj shortened his length as he sawShreyas Iyercoming down the track and Quinton de Kock had an opportunity to stump him, but could not break the wicket in time. He slayed the short ball, advanced down the track to hit Shamsi for six three times, and then belted Maharaj through the leg-side for 20 runs off four balls before successfully reviewing an lbw call. The first came immediately after the powerplay when Gaikwad pulled a hip-high short ball from Parnell to Pretorius at long leg.

He top-edged Anrich Nortje over short fine-leg but after India piled on 36 runs in five overs and survived the first properly disciplined over, from Wayne Parnell, things changed. South Africa pulled off their highest successful chase in T20I cricket, and denied India a record 13th successive T20I victory, despite being a batter light in the series opener.

Rassie van der Dussen was handed a lifeline by Shreyas Iyer when on 29 from 30 balls. He made India pay by co-starring in a successful 212 run chase.

I knew I was in and I had to make them pay," van der Dussen said. That said, we had a lot of batting still to come," he added. "The key for me was that when that catch was dropped, I knew I had to make India pay. "I did put myself and the team under pressure by not being able to hit early boundaries. If Shreyas had caught that ball, it might've been a different game. Iyer let that chance go, much to everyone's disappointment, and Dussen made it count.

Rassie van der Dussen smashed 75 off 46 balls while David Miller scored 64 off 31 balls to guide Proteas to a historical run chase.

"He played brilliant innings and also just helped pull me through that difficult phase of my innings. David just brought his form from the IPL straight into this game. We had a lot of guys in the IPL this year and that helped us in the first game to adapt quickly and get over the line," he added.

The likes of Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje were all part of the league this season, which was played entirely in India.

But luck is the part of the game." But David continued his form from the IPL and played brilliant innings, put pressure on the bowlers, and just pulled me through. Van der Dussen, who played only three games for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2022, expressed that his experience of watching close games from the dug-out was invaluable.

However, once Miller started hitting boundaries, and the equation came down to 11 or 12 RPO, you should've brought Chahal in.
