India skipper KL Rahul was ruled out of the five-match T20 International series against South Africa due to a groin injury. The announcement came in, just a day before the first match of the series. Rishabh Pant, who was named as Rahul's deputy, will now lead the side in his absence. "It is a very good feeling, did not come under very good circumstances but at the same time I am feeling happy. I would like to thank the BCCI for giving me this opportunity to lead the Indian side.
