Mantra For India Will Be New Ball In Test Series Against South Africa: Irfan Pathan
World Test Championship: Former India left-arm fast-bowler Irfan Pathan believes the visitors’ mantra for the Test series against South Africa happening later this month should be acing the new ball challenge in both batting and bowling innings.
India will play two Tests against South Africa, in Centurion from December 26-30 and in Cape Town from January 3-7, 2024. It is India's second series of the 2023-2025 World Test Championship cycle, after winning the two-Test series in West Indies in July 1-0.
“Look, they have to search for that mantra, and I think that the mantra is in the new ball. When you bat and bowl well with the new ball, that is the biggest mantra, that you conquered it, then things will become easier for you. Because in South Africa, the toughest thing to do is bat and face the new ball,” said Pathan to Star Sports.
