Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, where India will take on South Africa in the first Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I request you all to join the 2-km run on October 2 and while running keep picking the litter, Jai Hind,&quot; the 57-year-old added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Team India will aim to begin their home leg of the ICC World Test Championship on a high when they take on South Africa in the first Test of the three-match series beginning on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Virat Kohli&#39;s men would be full of confidence after they consolidated their position as the No.1 side with a 2-0 series whitewash in West Indies, which also saw them earn their first points in the WTC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>They would go into the series as undeniable favourites considering their enviable record at home since 2012-13. Ever since the West Indies series which saw legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar hang his boots, they&#39;ve won each of their 10 series -- the joint highest by any team on their home soil.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Please join us on Oct 2nd <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GandhiJayanti?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GandhiJayanti<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PloggingRun?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PloggingRun<\/a> which is a unique combination of our PM <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/narendramodi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@narendramodi<\/a> ji&rsquo;s initiatives - <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FitIndiaMovement?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FitIndiaMovement<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SwachhBharatAbhiyaan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SwachhBharatAbhiyaan<\/a>.
