Team India are on tour of South Africa and have shown a great performance in T20 and ODI formats. And now they will face the visitors in two test matches, which will be the ultimate challenge. India have never beaten South Africa in their backyard in a red-ball series. So can they turn the table this time around?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The first test match will be played at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, which will start on December 26 (Tuesday). India will be without some of their veterans, and youngsters will get a chance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pacers will get the movement and spinners will get turn. Batters need to spend some time on the crease and then play a long innings. Batting first is ideal choice at this venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n SA<\/strong> vs<\/strong> IND<\/strong>: Predicted<\/strong> XIs<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n South<\/strong> Africa<\/strong>: Dean Elgar, Temba Bavuma (C), Aiden Markram, Keegan Petersen, Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne (WK), Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Nandre Burger.<\/p>\r\n\r\n India<\/strong>: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravi Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar<\/p>\r\n\r\n SA<\/strong> vs<\/strong> IND<\/strong>: Dream11<\/strong> Team<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Wicket<\/strong>-keeper<\/strong>: KL Rahul<\/p>\r\n\r\n Batters<\/strong>: Virat Kohli (captain<\/strong>), Rohit Sharma, Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram<\/p>\r\n\r\n All<\/strong>-rounders<\/strong>: Ravindra Jadeja (Vice<\/strong>-captain<\/strong>), Ravi Ashwin, Marco Jansen<\/p>\r\n\r\n
