IND vs SA: The upcoming Test series between South Africa and India in South Africa, is going to be a cracker-jacker of a series because both the teams are good, it is always very challenging for India to play Test cricket in South Africa, and the build-up to the series has been full of controversies and finger pointing between the India captain and the BCCI.
But, with the start of IND vs SA Test series, all the focus will be once again back on the game and players will be in news for cricketing reasons, which is always the best thing for the game.
In this post, we will have a look at 3 things that Indian cricket fans are hoping for in the IND vs SA Test series.
1) Virat Kohli’s 71st international hundred
We can assure you that when India’s Test captain Virat Kohli will take the field in the first Test against South Africa, he will put everything behind, and focus only on scoring runs and winning matches for India. Millions of Indian cricket fans would be hoping that Virat Kohli will finally get the monkey off his back and score his 71st international hundred, which has been in waiting from past 2 years.
2) Ravichandran Ashwin’s return as India’s first-choice spinner in overseas conditions
Nobody can deny that Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the greatest spinners in the history of the game. But in the past few years, Virat Kohli has preferred Ravindra Jadeja over Ashwin in the overseas condition. But, IND vs SA Test series will be a huge opportunity for Ashwin to regain his lost position and show to the world that he is still India’s best spinner in Test cricket, irrespective of the playing conditions. Indian cricket fans would bee hoping that he will make a big contribution in the series, not just with the ball but also with his bat.
3) A dream overseas start for Rahul Dravid
As a batsman, Rahul Dravid’s record in overseas condition is impeccable. It is, in fact, better than his home record. Indian cricket fans would be hoping that The Wall makes a huge impact in his first overseas tour as India’s coach and replicate his batting record.
