The third and final test match between India and South Africa will start from tuesday (January 11, 2022). This match will be the series decider, whichever team wins this match, will clinch the three-match test series.
The India tour of South Africa began in Centurion with the first test match and India won that match by 113 runs. In the second test match, Proteas did a great comeback. South Africa won the second test with the help of captain Dean Elgar’s (96*) and levelled the series 1-1.
India has never won test series in South Africa so far and it will be seen in the final test whether India win the test series or not. If it do so then it will become the history. South Africa, on the other hand, will also try to maintain the record against India in its home.
South Africa’s bowlers were in good form in the first and the second test match while batters didn’t perform well in the first match but in the second test, they also came in good form and defeated India by 7 wickets. They will try to retain this performance in the final test as well.
India’s bowlers are also doing well but somewhere middle-order is struggling. In the second test, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara came in good form. They both scored half-century which is a good sign for India.
India’s test captain Virat Kohli suffered upper back injury in the second test. So, he was unavailable in that match but in the final test, he will probably be available to lead India. He may replace Hanuma Vihari in the playing XI. Umesh Yadav will replace the injured Mohammad Siraj.
