India T20 series ratings v SA: Karthik and Pandya get 9, Pant disappoints

Hosts bounced back to level five-match series after losing first two

India entered the five-match T20 series against a full-strength South Africa as the clear underdogs in the absence of captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah.

After losing the first two T20s fairly easily, it looked like the Proteas might hand stand-in captain Rishabh Pant a whitewash in his first big assignment as skipper. But the Indians stuck to their playing XI and won the next two T20s comfortably - by margins of 48 and 82 runs.

Batsmen Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and the returning Dinesh Karthik hit form at just the right time, while seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel made the most of their variations and control to keep India in the contest.

The final and series-deciding T20 in Bengaluru was washed out after less than four overs of play, which meant both teams walked away with a bunch of positives and some issues to sort.

Why your domicile status is important

Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.

Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. 

UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.

A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
