cricket news in tamil: IND vs SA: ‘I will bowl to him’… Very difficult: I will fight to overcome: South African bowler – bowling to virat kohli will be tough but exciting too says duanne olivier

The Indian team will travel to South Africa from December 26 for a three-match Test, one-day series and a four-match T20 series.

The first match will start on the 26th at Centurion Stadium. Out of the 26 Tests played at the ground, the South African team has won 21 matches. Has drawn 3 matches and suffered 2 defeats. These failures are just before 2015. India have played 2 matches at this ground and lost both. Thus, South Africa decided to play the first match at a ground favorable to India and give a heavy blow to the start.

A setback for India?

Also, cricket critics believe that the Indian team, which is accustomed to playing spinners on Indian soil, is likely to stumble badly as people like the South African bowlers continue to bowl at speeds of up to 150 on these pitches.

Meanwhile, Anrik Norkia, who has been bowling consistently at 150, has been ruled out of the Test series due to injury. This is seen as a major setback for the team. A replacement for him has not been announced.

Alternative to Norcia:

However, it has been reported that there is a replacement for Norcia in the existing 20-man squad. His name is Duan Olivier. He has played in only 10 matches in total, and that too until 2019 for the South African Test team. Most recently, he took 4 wickets in 4 first-class matches at an average of 11.14. The best is 9/95. Norgia is also a fast bowler. Because of this, the team management is said to have decided to deal with Olivier without announcing a replacement for Norcia.

Interview with Olivier:

He also looks likely to get a place in the XI squad. Currently, Duan Oliver is interviewed about the first Test. “This series against world-class players will be the biggest in my life,” he said. This is an exciting challenge. I think it will be very difficult to bowl against Virat Kohli. However, I look forward to it. ”

He further said, “Virat Kohli is one of the top 4 batsmen in world cricket. I think if we perform well in the first match and win, we can beat India after that. The South African environment is good for our team and we will fight hard to use it to win, ”he said.
