Fog Delays T20I Toss in Lucknow
India and South Africa are playing a big cricket match on Wednesday in Lucknow.
India is leading the series 2-1 and wants to win this match to make sure they win the series.
The toss was delayed because of fog, making it hard to see the ball.
The Indian team has some players who might not play because they are sick or hurt.
The captain of India, Suryakumar Yadav, has not been scoring many runs lately, but he is still very important for the team.
South Africa has a fast batter named Quinton de Kock who can score lots of runs quickly.
The weather is foggy, and the pitch can be tricky for both batters and bowlers.
Both teams have strong players, and it will be an exciting match to watch.
The toss for the 4th T20I between India and South Africa was delayed due to fog in Lucknow.
India leads the five-match series 2-1, with a victory sealing the series.
Shubman Gill has been ruled out of the series due to a foot injury.
Suryakumar Yadav, India's captain, is out of form but crucial for the team's success.
