India vs South Africa 1st T20: Dharamsala not ‘far behind’ in AB de Villiers’ list of most beautiful cricket grounds

India and South Africa will be playing in three T20Is, five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and four Tests from October 2 to December 7.

For the South African batting mainstay AB de Villiers, the picturesque ground of Dharamsala is certainly not ‘far behind’ in the list of most beautiful cricket grounds in the world. The Newlands ground at Cape Town occupies the first spot in the list for the South African captain in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and there should be no surprises in getting to know that the cricketer likes a stadium back at his home as his favourite. The South Africans have been in India for a past few days, but certainly, for those who keep visiting the country for the Indian Premier League (IPL), the memories of playing at Dharamsala cannot be easily done away with.  SCORECARD: India vs South Africa 1st T20 match at Dharamsala
