IND vs SA: After Virat Kohli, huge flex of Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni seen ahead of 1st T20I in Thiruvananthapuram

As fans gave a grand welcome to the Indian team in Thiruvananthapuram ahead of their 1st T20I clash against South Africa, some fans went the extra mile for their favourite cricketers.

Earlier, former India skipper Virat Kohli's fans had erected a huge flex board of him outside the Greenfield International Stadium.

However, now a grand flex of the current captain Rohit Sharma can be seen in front of the stadium the two sides will be playing on Wednesday.

While it's understandable to see the two active cricketers flex outside the stadium, MS Dhoni fans also did not stay behind. A 50 feet cut-out of MS Dhoni was in front of the Greenfield stadium.

Talking about the clash, the Men in Blue had begun their World Cup preparations on a winning note after they defeat Australia in the three-match T20I series 2-1 at home.

Against South Africa, India is yet to beat the Proteas in a T20I bilateral series at home since 2018. Earlier this year, when South Africa had played five-match T20I series post the IPL, it ended in a 2-2 draw after the fifth game had got washed out due to rain. Rishabh Pant had led that series after Rohit Sharma was rested and KL Rahul was injured.
