In a bid to rewrite history, the Indian cricket team is leaving no stone unturned as they prepare to face South Africa in the upcoming two-match Test series, commencing with the Boxing Day Test in Centurion. The team’s practice sessions have been nothing short of rigorous, with key players, including skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, back in action after India’s heart-wrenching loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup final.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) provided a glimpse into the team’s preparation, uploading a video on the social media platform ‘X.’ The footage showcases the players sweating it out in the nets at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, gearing up for the challenges that lie ahead. Notably, the video features senior players such as Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer having an open net session, simulating match experiences.
India’s Test squad boasts an impressive lineup, with the experienced players returning to add depth to the team. The squad includes Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, KS Bharat (wk), and Abhimanyu Easwaran.
Despite India’s historical struggles in South Africa, the team remains optimistic. The composition of the squad and their familiarity with South African conditions provide a reasonable chance of rewriting India’s Test record in the Rainbow Nation. Currently leading the World Test Championship (WTC) standings, the Rohit Sharma-led side has won one game, played out a draw, and accumulated 16 points.
As the Indian team gears up for the challenge, all eyes are on the much-anticipated clash at SuperSport Park. The return of star players and the team’s dedicated training sessions hint at an exciting and fiercely competitive Test series that could potentially reshape India’s cricket history in South Africa.
