The next big assignment of the Indian Team

Team India has managed to win Test games in Australia and England recently. Hence, the men in blue will be high on confidence when taking on the Proteas. India does not enjoy a great record on South African soil in Test cricket. Hence, it will be important for the team to win the series there.

The Indian Team has a strong core and will be expected to pull off victories against a South African side, that is not exactly the strongest at the moment. However, Virat Kohli‘s men will be wary of the threat by the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje.
