The second Test match of the three-Test match series between India and South Africa will be played in Johannesburg on December 3. The players of Team India have already started practising fiercely for the second clash of the series.
After winning the first Test at Centurion, India are currently leading the series 1-0. In a situation like this, if the Test team led by Virat Kohli win the second Test match of the series, then history going to be reversed in the Rainbow Nation.
Because, ever since India toured this land; the Indian men have not been able to win the Test series in the last 29 years.
Four fast bowlers
Indian Test team, ked by Kohli, gave a chance to four fast bowlers to take advantage of the fast and bowling-friendly pitches of South Africa. Lone spinner in the squad was Ravichandran Ashwin.
The outcome of the decision was that all 10 wickets in the first innings at Centurion's ground were taken by the fast bowlers.
At a stage like this, the 33-year-old talismanic skipper would like to follow the same plan once again and would like to have four fast bowlers on the field.
Expected team
So, it is expected, that in team India's playing XI, there will be no change and Kohli would like to show confidence once again in the players who won the Centurion Test for their side. Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul, as two openers, would once again have the responsibility to produce a strong start for the team. After this, Cheteshwar Pujara, who failed in the last match at number three, will have to prove himself this time.
In the middle order, Kohli will come to bat at number four and Ajinkya Rahane at number five. Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will be seen playing at number six. The only spinner in the squad will be Ashwin. In the fast bowling unit, once again Jasprit Bumrah will be seen along with Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj.
India's Probable Playing XI :-
Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj
