IND vs SA: Team India will go for the second test in Johannesburg
The second match of the India tour is going to start from today. This match will be played at Wonders Stadium in Johannesburg.
The second match of the India tour is going to start from today. This match will be played at Wonders Stadium in Johannesburg. This is a good chance for India to win the Test series in South Africa. India has never faced defeat on this ground. The Indian cricket team has played 5 matches at this ground, out of which two have been won and the remaining two matches have been drawn.
This is 8th bilateral Test series in South Africa. India has faced defeat in 6 out of the last 7 series, while a series draw was played. In such a situation, if team India wins by maintaining its record on this ground, then the Indian team playing under the leadership of Virat Kohli will create history.
On the other hand, if we talk about the Test match starting from today, then this pitch of Johannesburg can prove to be helpful for the fast bowlers. So a change can be made in the Indian team. According to coach Rahul Dravid, Umesh Yadav can be brought back in the team in place of Shardul Thakur.
The Team Squad
India :- KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal. Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin/ Hanuma Vihari, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur/ Umesh Yadav.
South Africa:- Jean Elgar (captain), Aiden Markram, Keegan Pietersen, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Kagiso Rabada, Russi van der Dussen, Keshav Maharaj, Dunne Olivier, Temba Bavuma, Viaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi.
