SA vs IND

Possible India Playing 11: India were handed a reality check by South Africa in the second Test, as they succumbed to a seven wicket loss, despite having a good total on the board. They will look to bounce back in the final Test, and claim that precious series win in South Africa. Virat Kohli is expected to recover from a back spasm, and again lead Team India in the decider. Kohli’s presence was hugely missed in the second Test, where, KL Rahul marshalled the troops.

Team News

  • Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul will open the innings for the visitors.
  • C. Pujara comes into bat at number three, whereas, Virat Kohli reclaims his place at number four.
  • A huge decision has to be made between Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihari. However, given Rahane’s experience and a quick 50 in the previous Test, he will get the nod ahead of Vihari.
  • Rishabh Pant has not had a good series with the bat so far, as he bats at number six, with R. Ashwin at number seven.
  • Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, M. Siraj and Shardul Thakur form the pace bowling attack.
