There is going to be a very competitive series between India and South Africa. However, once again the Indian team is looking better than the host team. The two-Test series will begin on Tuesday. This will be India’s ninth Test series in South Africa since 1992, but so far they have not won a single series in the country. This is the reason why the current series as usual is being called the ‘last fort’ for the Rohit Sharma-led team.
Heavy rain is predicted for the first two days of the match between India and South Africa at the SuperSport Park. The Centurion wicket offers pace and uneven bounce, which is likely to be a tough contest. It has been raining in Centurion for the past two days and the grounds are covered.
