The South African cricket team toured India in June 2022 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] In September 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the schedule for the tour.[3] In March 2022, the tour itinerary was updated, with matches moved from Bangalore and Nagpur to Cuttack and Visakhapatnam.[4] In April 2022, the BCCI issued a further update to the tour,[5] with Delhi and Bangalore hosting the first and fifth T20I matches respectively.[6] After the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first series in India to be played without restrictions.[7]

Ahead of the first T20I match, India's captain KL Rahul was ruled out the series due to a right groin injury.[8] Rishabh Pant was named as India's captain for the matches,[9] with Hardik Pandya named as the team's vice-captain.[10]

South Africa won the opening T20I match by seven wickets,[11] denying India a chance to break the record of most consecutive team wins in the format.[12] South Africa won the second T20I by four wickets to take a 2–0 lead in the series.[13] India then won the third T20I by 48 runs,[14] to give Rishabh Pant his first win as the captain of the Indian team.[15] India won the fourth T20I by 82 runs to level the series with one match to play.[16] However, the fifth and final T20I match was washed out after just 3.3 overs of play, with the series drawn 2–2.[17]

Squads

KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav were ruled out of India's squad due to a groin and hand injury respectively.[20] Ahead of the first T20I, South Africa's Aiden Markram tested positive for COVID-19,[21] and was later ruled out of the entire series.[22]
