SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team Today’s, Playing XI, Head to Head Stats, and Injury Updates for India tour of South Africa 2023, 1st Test

After securing a significant ODI series victory in South Africa (SA), the Indian cricket team is set for a two-match Test series against the hosts. In an effort to break their winless streak in South Africa, India (IND) is gearing up for a two-match Test series against the hosts, commencing with a Boxing Day Test in Centurion. Despite numerous visits to the rainbow nation, India has never clinched a Test series victory there.

The 2021/22 tour saw India starting with a win but falling short in the last two Tests. In 2018, under the leadership of Virat Kohli, the Indian side managed to avoid a whitewash by winning the third Test match. Hence, this time around under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, team India would be looking to create history.

SA vs IND: Pitch Report

Batters will be up for a challenge on the Centurion Supersport Park pitch, which tends to favor fast bowlers. Negotiating the new ball will be crucial, given the swing and bounce the pitch offers. Teams would prefer batting first, and as the match progresses, conditions are likely to become more demanding for spinners.
