IND vs SA Player Bets:

Take a look at the best player betting tips from the IND vs SA match predictions.

Virat Kohli to score over 29.5 runs

The national hero, Virat Kohli is the most celebrated batsman in the nation. The country long awaited his comeback after facing a block in his batting form. His break from cricket seemed to have gathered him as he came back with some of the fierce knocks in world cricket. He has batted in 99 T20Is so far in his career and amassed 3660 runs at an average of 50.83. This seems pretty high in this short 20 over format. His innings includes a century and 33 fifties. He has played 12 games this year so far and scored 433 runs at an average of 43.30. Kohli was impeccable in the Asia Cup 2022 and finished as the second highest run-scorer, having played a game less than the top scorer. He scored 276 runs in 5 matches, averaging at 92.00. He posted the scores of 0, 59*, 60, 0 and 122* runs in those games. His red hot form followed into the recently concluded series against Australia where he scored 2, 11 and 63 runs in three matches. His track record playing against South Africa has also been impressive and should convince you to pick this betting tip from the IND vs SA head-to-head contest. He has batted in 9 games against SA and registered 254 runs, averaging at 36.28, laced with two half-centuries. The last time he played against SA in 2019, he posted the scores of 72* and 9 runs in the two games. This should instil a lot of confidence in this hot betting tip and should earn you a handful of money following the fixture. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for Kohli to score over 29.5 runs and you should take it.

Surya Kumar Yadav to score over 24.5 runs

Surya Kumar Yadav, the 32 year-old batter, rebooted his career and made his T20I debut just last year. His impressive range of shots impressed everyone and as he made full use of those opportunities, led him to be included in the upcoming World Cup. He has played 29 T20I games and scored 926 runs at an average of 37.04. His innings is laced with a century and 7 half-centuries. He was one of the batting pillars in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022 as he registered 139 runs in 5 games, averaging at 34.75. He posted the scores of 18, 68*, 13, 34 and 6 runs in the competition. Although he faced few early dismissals, his batting potential has been up to par. He scored 46, 0 and 69 runs in three T20Is against AUS in the three match series. The batter is yet to play a game against South Africa but looks absolutely prepared for the task. In India, SKY averages 37.40. Since he started playing in the 20 over format, he averaged at 34.85 in 2021 that escalated to 37.88 in 2022. His form looks exquisite and is expected to score over 24.5 runs in the IND vs SA head-to-head encounter. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for the same and you should pick it for a hefty payday.

Quinton de Kock to score over 22.5 runs

The wicket-keeper batter, Quinton de Kock is a regular batter in the ranks of the South African squad. Quinton de Kock's fearless striking and handy glovework earned him comparisons to greats of the game like Adam Gilchrist and Mark Boucher early in his career. De Kock has played 68 T20Is till date and mustered 1894 runs in those matches. His T20I career average is at 31.04. The batter has played 5 games against India and smashed 173 runs in those innings, averaging at a high 43.25, laced with two-centuries. He averages 45.71 playing in Indian conditions. The batter was having a hard time this year as he could not capitalise on many innings. He even played two games against India in June 2022, and scored 22 and 14 runs in two games. But he worked on his craft and CPL seemed the perfect opportunity to test out his potential with a lower risk factor. He shined in the tournament and currently averages 44.20 in the competition with 221 runs in 7 games so far. Having said that, his track record looks pretty impressive and he should fetch over 22.5 runs in the IND vs SA 1st T20I. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.83 for the same and you should not miss out on this lucrative betting tip.
