Cape Town, First Published Jan 9, 2022, 4:24 PM IST
India won the first Test of the three-Test series between India and South Africa and South Africa won the second Test. The Test series ended in a 1-1 draw.
The 3rd Test in Cape Town is the most important Test to decide the outcome of the series. The last Test starts in Cape Town on the 11th.
Captain Virat Kohli, who did not play in the 2nd Test due to injury, will play in the next Test. So Hanuma Vihari, who played in the 2nd Test, will be dropped to replace him. Ajinkya Rahane and Pujara will play in the 3rd Test as they will be given 2 more chances.
Mohammad Siraj, who was injured while bowling in the 2nd Test, is doubtful to play in the 3rd Test. So it looks like fast bowler Umesh Yadav will replace him.
Proposed Indian team:
KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Pujara, Kohli (capt), Rahane, Rishabh Pund (wicket-keeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Tagore, Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Bumra.
