Story Highlights
- Decision Test between India and South Africa from today
- Captain Virat Kohli’s return to Team India
33-year-old Virat Kohli, one of the best batsmen in the world, is going to return to the team for the third and decisive Test against South Africa. He will debut in the 99th Test of his career in the Cape Town Test starting Tuesday. This day is also special for the Indian captain, because he will play on the occasion of his daughter’s first birthday.
Kohli may not have scored a century in 2020 and 2021, but his presence gives the team a psychological advantage. After the defeat in the Johannesburg Test of the current series, Team India will land in Cape Town with their regular captain. The series is currently tied at 1-1. For Kohli, this test can prove to be very important for his career. With just one win, Team India will create history.
Indeed, winning the first Test series in South Africa in three decades will definitely establish Kohli’s name as the country’s greatest captain in Test cricket. . In such a situation, all the players of Team India would like to make this match memorable for captain Kohli, who has been facing a lot of pressure for some time.
Virat Kohli has so far scored runs at an impressive average of 50.91 on African soil. However, Sachin Tendulkar (1161 runs) is at the top in terms of scoring the most runs in South Africa. Rahul will overtake Dravid, who scored a total of 624 runs in South Africa, after scoring 14 runs at the Newlands ground in Cape Town. India lost 3 out of 5, while 2 matches were drawn. In such a situation, there will be a big responsibility on the Indian batsmen. A big partnership is very important to put pressure on the hosts.
Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara have formed a big partnership during the 2013 tour of Africa. Then both had added 222 runs for the third wicket in Johannesburg. The record for the highest partnership for India in Cape Town is held by the pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin. Then both had a partnership of 222 runs for the sixth wicket.
Positive signs for Team India are that Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were able to get some form in the last Johannesburg Test with half-centuries. . During this, there was a fast partnership of 111 runs between Pujara and Rahane.
record chance in Cape Town
8000 to Virat Kohli 146 runs are needed to touch the figures of Test runs. Ajinkya Rahane needs 79 runs to complete 5000 runs. Kohli will complete his 100 catches after taking two catches, while Rahane is one catch away from it.
