The Indian cricket team is currently in South Africa where it has already played 3-match T20I series and 3-match ODI series and now both the teams are gearing up for the 2-match test series which is going to start from 26 December at Centurion.
Both the senior cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were rested for the limited overs series but they are slated to make a comeback in the test series. However, as per the reports, Virat Kohli has returned to India from South Africa due to a family emergency but it is being said that he will be back before the start of the first test match.
A BCCI official told mediapersons, “Virat Kohli has returned to India due to a family emergency. But he will be back before start of the first Test.”
Virat Kohli is India’s best test batter and he was also in a great form during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 because of which his presence in the test series is definitely needed.
There is a bad news in regard to young cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad as the official stated, “Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the two-Test series with ring finger fracture.”
Ruturaj Gaikwad got his finger fractured during the second ODI while attempting a catch.
Which team according to you will win the test series?
