The South African cricket team toured India in June 2022 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[1] In September 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the schedule for the tour.[2] In March 2022, the tour itinerary was updated, with matches moved from Bangalore and Nagpur to Cuttack and Visakhapatnam.[3] In April 2022, the BCCI issued a further update to the tour,[4] with Delhi and Bangalore hosting the first and fifth T20I matches respectively.[5] After the COVID-19 pandemic, this was the first series in India to be played without restrictions.[6]

Ahead of the first T20I match, India's captain KL Rahul was ruled out the series due to a right groin injury.[7] Rishabh Pant was named as India's captain for the matches,[8] with Hardik Pandya named as the team's vice-captain.[9]

South Africa won the opening T20I match by seven wickets,[10] denying India a chance to break the record of most consecutive team wins in the format.[11] South Africa won the second T20I by four wickets to take a 2–0 lead in the series.[12] India then won the third T20I by 48 runs,[13] to give Rishabh Pant his first win as the captain of the Indian team.[14] India won the fourth T20I by 82 runs to level the series with one match to play.[15] However, the fifth and final T20I match was washed out after just 3.3 overs of play, with the series drawn 2–2.[16]
