AB de Villiers, a former captain of South Africa, said he expected to see an energized Virat Kohli during India’s next trip to South Africa, which consists of two Test matches, three ODIs, and three T20Is. On December 10, the month-long tour is scheduled to start, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli resting from the first white-ball phase.
In Hardik Pandya’s absence, KL Rahul will captain the side for the three-match T20I series, which begins on December 10 and continues with games in Gqeberha and Johannesburg on December 12 and 14, respectively. In the ODI series, which starts on December 17 in Johannesburg and continues with matches on December 19 in Gqeberha and December 21 in Paarl, Rahul will remain in the lead.
The highly anticipated Gandhi-Mandela Trophy, which will feature the return of Rohit and Kohli for the Test series, will round off the visit. The first test is slated for December 26–30 in Centurion, and the second test is slated for January 3–7 in Cape Town.
De Villiers had stated before the series that he expected Kohli to put in an outstanding performance and that it would be energetic.
“We’ll witness Virat Kohli at his finest. I’m eager to witness the openness of the chest, the opposition’s eye contact, and the occasional outburst with each other. since this series will really burn him up. South Africa will have to exercise caution. According to India Today, De Villiers declared, “This Indian team is absolutely top-notch.”
The tournament’s finest batter, according to Virat Kohli:
The recently finished ICC ODI World Cup saw Kohli have an incredible run, finishing as both the tournament’s top run scorer and best batsman. In 11 innings, he scored an astounding 765 runs at an average of 95.62. Against the Australians in the final, Virat also hit fifty runs. However, the Australian team quickly pursued the Indians’ goal, winning the match and bringing home their sixth ODI World Cup Trophy, proving that it was insufficient.
