SA vs IND

After the high-voltage white ball series it is time for the biggest series to end the year. Huge World Test Championship points are up for stake as the first Test Match for both teams. The last time these two teams played in Centurion the visiting side led by Virat Kohli had won the game.

South Africa (SA) will start the series as the favourites thanks to their upper hand in home conditions. Dean Elgar is set to play his final two games as he calls time on his international career. 

India (IND) meanwhile, are set to welcome back Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The two stalwarts of the Indian batting unit haven’t played since the ODI World Cup 2023 finals. KL Rahul is set to be given his first start as a full-time wicketkeeper as Ishan Kishan has flown back home due to mental fatigue.

SA vs IND – Pitch Report

Centurion has been overcast for the last few days and the curator has said that batting first could be risky. The team winning the toss will want to bowl first if the conditions remain overcast as seam bowlers could get good help. If the conditions change, the skipper winning the toss will want to bat first as there will be help for the spin bowlers as well.
