Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli
IND vs SA Test Series 2023/24: The Indian team is currently on the tour of South Africa. Where T20 and ODI series have been played between the two teams. Team India maintained its dominance in both these series and now the fans are eagerly waiting for the Test series. The Indian team will play its first test match against South Africa from 26th December. A total of two test matches will be played in this series. Where the star senior players of Team India will be seen in action once again after the final of the ODI World Cup. Once again Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining the team. During this time he will have a chance to make a big record.
Till now only this captain has done wonders
Actually, Team India’s record in South Africa has been very bad. The Indian team has played a total of 8 test series in South Africa so far. Where they could not win even a single series. For India, MS Dhoni is the only captain under whose captaincy Team India has drawn the series in South Africa. Otherwise no captain has done this work till date. Under the captaincy of Dhoni, Team India had drawn the Test series in South Africa 1-1 in the year 2010/11. Now the eyes of the fans are on Rohit Sharma. If Rohit Sharma wins the Test series against South Africa at home, he will become the first captain to do so for India.
Rohit captain for the first time in South Africa
Former captain of Team India, Virat Kohli had announced to leave the captaincy only after the Test series played in South Africa. After that Rohit Sharma was made the captain of the team. The Indian team lost that series 1-2. This is the first time after Virat left the captaincy that Team India is touring South Africa to play a Test match. Team India’s performance under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been quite excellent so far. Now it depends on Rohit Sharma and his team how they perform in South Africa.
