India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test: India captain Rohit Sharma and South Africa’s Dean Elgar

This is a venue where they haven’t won a Test. This is a venue that is likely to offer more pace and bounce, at least if the early pitch reports are to be believed. And above all, this is a venue that, dare we say, will say a lot about where India’s future is going as far as red-ball cricket is concerned.

India have a few tough calls to make. In two innings in Centurion, India’s batters batted just more than 100 overs in the first Test, which was less than South Africa’s first innings. But with no real exciting backups in place, the batting order is likely to be the same. The same, however, can not be said about the bowling department. Ravindra Jadeja is certain to return to the XI. But whether it was in place of R Ashwin or Shardul remains to be seen. Prasidh Krishna was woeful on debut. But Rohit has hinted that the team management will back him. Then, why did they hurriedly call for Avesh Khan in the squad? Is there space for Mukesh Kumar?

What about South Africa? The hosts certainly are not at their best. This is easily their weakest side on paper in the last few years but who cares? In his last Test, Dean Elgar will be captaining the side in place of an injured Temba Bavuma. Lungi Ngidi is likely to return to the XI in place of Gerald Coetzee.
