Unkept promise: On India’s quest for a Test series win in South Africa

The Hindu  

India’s quest for a Test series win in South Africa remains an unfulfilled dream. The latest tryst in whites culminated in a 1-1 stalemate even if all talk will revolve around the second game at Cape Town’s Newlands being the shortest ever Test at a mere 642 deliveries and concluding well within two days. In a contest of excruciatingly small margins, Rohit Sharma’s men prevailed with a seven-wicket victory with speedsters Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj being the wreckers-in-chief of the South African line-up. In a year that features Tests against the visiting Englishmen besides the ICC T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and United States, India is still figuring out the diverse building blocks for the three formats.
