India TV News  

Indian cricket team will be looking to finish the year 2023 on high as they clash against South Africa in the first Test match in Centurion starting on December 26. India suffered a 1-2 defeat in the last Test series against South Africa under Virat Kohli's leadership in January 2022. Now Rohit Sharma-led side enters this tournament after impressive performances across formats this year and are tipped favourites to end their wait for the maiden Test series win in the Rainbow Nation. The former South African captain AB de Villiers has also backed team India to emerge victorious in the upcoming series. But Siraj and Bumrah are bowlers who can bowl line, whereas South African bowlers bowl from off to leg stump.” India Test Squad: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Abhimanyu Easwaran South Africa Test squad: Temba Bavuma, David Bedingham, Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee, Tony de Zorzi, Dean Elgar, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Keegan Petersen, Kagiso Rabada, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne
