India vs South Africa: What Rohit Sharma-led India's XI for Centurion Test is likely to be

With the T20Is and ODIs done, it’s time for the Indian team to shift its focus to the Test format with the big series against South Africa set to begin in a little more than 24 hours from now.

The Men in Blue, led by Suryakumar Yadav, managed to hold the Aiden Markram-led Proteas to a 1-1 draw in the T20I leg of the tour. India pulled off a dominant 106-run victory to level the series in Johannesburg after a five-wicket defeat in Gqeberha, with the tour opener in Durban getting rained off.

It was a similar story in the ODI leg of the tour, where the Indian team led this time by KL Rahul won in Jo’burg and lost in Gqeberha, before winning the series decider in Paarl.

With the white-ball fixtures done and dusted, it’s time for the Indian team to shift its focus to the big task at hand — beating South Africa in a Test series in South Africa for the first time ever, which many in the cricketing fraternity describe as the ‘Final Frontier’ for Indian cricket.

It is time for the Test series and Captain Rohit Sharma is READY!
