Indian Team Practiced Before The Third Test: Ind vs SA
Indian team practiced before the third test, but head coach Rahul Dravid expressed this concern.
The Indian team on Sunday practiced for the third and deciding Test match with the aim of winning the series for the first time in South Africa, forgetting the loss in Johannesburg.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tweeted with the picture of the team, ‘We are here in beautiful Cape Town. The team started preparing for the third Test.
The three-match series is currently tied at 1-1. The third Test will be played here from January 11 to 15.
India, looking to win the first Test series in South Africa, started off brilliantly with a 113-run win in the opening match at Centurion but suffered a seven-wicket loss in the second Test at Johannesburg.
The Indian team had reached Cape Town on Saturday. On the other hand, the team’s head coach Rahul Dravid expressed some concern about the pitch here and said that the wicket will be a bit challenging.
We take pride in ourselves and want to do better. As a batting unit, we want to do some good and also want to prolong the partnerships.
India went into the second match without skipper Virat Kohli but head coach Rahul Dravid had expressed hope that he would be fit for the decider.
Kohli had a tight upper back and in his absence, KL Rahul took charge of the team. It is doubtful for fast bowler Muhammad Siraj to play in the third match.
He was injured during the second test match. He can be replaced by Ishant Sharma or Umesh Yadav in the playing XI.
Ind vs SA: Two changes in Team India’s playing XI in the last Test, these players can get a place.
In the last match of the three-match Test series being played against South Africa, India can go with two changes.
The return of captain Virat Kohli is believed to be certain, while a bowler is sure to be included in the playing XI in place of injured bowler Mohammad Siraj.
In the Cape Town Test, India is going to take the series with the intention of creating history in its name.
