After a shambolic defeat at the hands of South Africa in the first test at Centurion, the Indian cricket team will be looking to bounce back in the second test at Cape Town. Not only are important World Test Championship points on the line, it is also a fight for pride for the visitors as they could barely rise to the challenge posed by Proteas. An innings defeat is rare for this Indian team that has played in two championship finals so far. The young guns will need to showcase they are fit to wear the Indian test jersey. Opponents Proteas will be looking to stick to their game plans. The pitches in South Africa aid their pacers and this is where their strength lies. South Africa versus India will be telecasted on the Star Sports network and streamed on the Hotstar app from 1:30 PM IST.Ā Virat Kohli Trains Against Left-Arm Fast Bowling, Shreyas Iyer Faces Barrage of Short Balls in Nets Ahead of IND vs SA 3rd Test 2023ā€“24.

Ravindra Jadeja is all set to return to the Indian team after recovering from a back problem. Shardul Thakur was poor in the first game but is likely to keep his place while Mukesh Kumar could come in for Prasidh Krishna. Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill looked far from comfortable against the South African attack and if India are to make a comeback, the trio will need to score big.

Dean Elgar is playing his final test match for South Africa and the talented opener will look to end on a high. He played a key role in the win in the first game, scoring a brilliant century in tough conditions. Lungi Ngidi is likely to come in place of Keshav Maharaj and form a potent unit alongside Nandre Burger, Kagiso Rabada, and Marco Jansen.
