Xtra Time Web Desk: Rishabh Pant led Indian team reached the port city of Vishakhapatnam for the third T20I on Monday evening. The Andhra Cricket Association made a special arrangement for the teams as heavy security were deployed at the airport and team hotel.  

The Proteas squad were the first to reach Bhuvneshwar airport in the afternoon. All the South African players and support staffs were seen with masks as India is again witnessing a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Both the teams boarded a special charter flight from Bhuvneshwar airport. The players were taken to Radisson Blu Resort hotel from the Vishakhapatnam airport at 5:15 PM IST.

Like in Cuttack, there were huge crowds welcoming the team at the airport, including fans and media. The players of both teams took a day off from the hectic schedule. They will straightway get down for the match at the Dr YSR ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium.

The visitors lead the five match T20I series 2-0 after their wins at Delhi and Cuttack. It will be a must win game for Rishabh Pant and his boys. Any slip ups will mean they will lose the T20 series. It is expected to be a full house on Tuesday.
