IND vs SA T20 International: India's tour of South Africa starts on December 10 with a T20 International in Durban. The team's top run scorer from the just finished World Cup, Virat Kohli, will not be available for the white-ball matches.

The decision to take a vacation has been communicated by Kohli to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). India's visit of South Africa will include three Twenty20 internationals, three One-Day Internationals, and two Test matches.

Currently, Kohli is in London on a vacation. For the past few months, he has been playing cricket nonstop. Prior to the World Cup in September, Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma took a break for the first two One-Day Internationals against Australia. 

Will Captain Rohit Sharma Play? 

There is currently uncertainty over whether Rohit, who led the Indian side to ten straight victories in the World Cup prior to the team's elimination in the final, will be eligible to play in white-ball cricket. As a post-World Cup break, Rohit is also in the United Kingdom.
