Yadav, who usually doesn't get a place in the playing XI when the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin are around, might get the opportunity to showcase his skills in the first match alongside Bishnoi.
Meanwhile, South Africa are expected to play with their full strength squad in the match. The hosts will have a huge task cut for them if they want to get the better of the visitors.
