India and South Africa set to face off in the three-match T20I series starting June 8 at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi. This is the first international match in Delhi in close to three years. And guess what, the fans are excited with all the zeal. Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier announced that the gorunds will have 100 percent seating capacity.
The iconic Feroz Shah Kotla ground, which had last hosted an India vs Bangladesh T20I in 2019, will be hosting the first India-South Africa T20I on Thursday.
Been devoid of hosting cricket in IPL 2022 as well due to COVID-19 restrictions, Feroz Shah Kotla is highly likely to generate a lot of interest among fans in and around the national capital.
It is due to this heavy demand for tickets that tickets of only three price range are left for sale on online platform Paytm Insider. These are Old Club House First Floor (INR 6,500), Hill A (INR 10,000) and West Side Corporate Boxes (INR 11,500).
KL Rahul will lead the side in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma.
