Two Test matches between South Africa and India are scheduled, with the first one starting on December 26 at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. What lineup India would play against the Proteas was a topic of much speculation prior to the match. Major news for the visitors: captain Rohit Sharma said that all-around ace Ravindra Jadeja will sit out the match because of a back spasm. Ravichandran Ashwin will take his place.
Since Ravindra Jadeja experienced a back and neck spasm in the morning, Ashwin is performing in his place.
Ashwin is going to be useful. Prasidh makes his appearance. “During the toss, Rohit Sharma stated that the other seamers are Siraj, Bumrah, and Shardul.
Additionally, considering the circumstances in Centurion on Day 1, Rohit Sharma stated that visitors are aware of the SuperSport Park’s conditions and that it is sometimes preferable to lose the toss.
Honestly, I wasn’t really sure. It’s preferable to lose the toss in such moments. We are aware of the circumstances; the last time I was here, we achieved our own success. The bowlers performed the heavy lifting for us when we put runs on the board. Although there is grass on the field and overhead conditions, Rohit Sharma remarked, “Guys are used to handling the situation.”
Following an impressive victory in the one-day international series, the Indian team would be eager to do well in the two-match Test series. Notably, India has never been victorious in a Test series held in South Africa; it will be intriguing to witness if that happens this time around.
