South Africa, First Published Dec 21, 2021, 7:25 PM IST
The Indian team has toured South Africa to play in a series consisting of 3 Tests and 3 ODIs. Starts on the 26th at Centurion.
First Test: December 26-30, Centurion
2nd Test: January 3-7, Johannesburg
3rd Test: January 11-15, Cape Town
Since this Test series is for the ICC World Test Championship, both teams will be playing frantically for victory.
The number of players withdrawing from injury before the start of the series is on the rise. Action opener Rohit Sharma, who was announced as the vice-captain of the Indian team, withdrew from the Test series due to injury.
Meanwhile, South Africa’s star fast bowler Anrik Norgay has been ruled out of the Test series due to injury. South Africa’s intimidating fast bowler Anrik Norka, who has taken 47 wickets in 12 Tests, is the team’s leading bowler. Norgay, who could not consistently bowl more than 140km / h as an assault on South African pitches favorable to fast bowling, would definitely have been a major threat to the Indian team. In this case, his departure is a major setback for the South African team. At the same time, it is a positive thing for the Indian team.
Indian Test team:
Virat Kohli (captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Mayank Agarwal, Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pund (wicket-keeper), Rithiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Jayant Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bumra, Shardul Tagore, Mohammad Siraj, Priyank Bansal.
