Centurion: Team India arrives in the Proteas (India tour of South Africa 2021-22) with the hope of winning their maiden Test series in South Africa. The history of Team India till date says that Proteus is Balikeramala. Under MS Dhoni, India can only claim to be the best in South Africa if they can level the series. Indian coach Rahul Dravid says what team needs to do to win this historic series.
Dravid’s assessment is that team excellence, not individual performance, is what is needed in the Test series against South Africa. ‘Such series can only be won with good team performance. All players must make their contribution. One cannot hope for Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara or any other player. All players must work hard to win in South Africa.
Must excel up to lower order …
Top seven and eight will all be included. Even the help of the Lower Order is needed. It is very rare for a player to play well in every match and dominate the series in a situation like the South African series, ”Dravid added.
Under the tutelage of Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli and his team are aiming for their first Test series win in South Africa. There are three Tests in the series. Team India is on its eighth tour of the country in the rain. Team India lost six times and managed to reach a draw on the 2010/11 tour. Rahul Dravid was a member of the team in this series. The first Test at Centurion is in progress.
