The Test series between India and South Africa will begin tomorrow in Vizag. Both the teams have prepared to their best of abilities and it all goes tomorrow, who will be in the playing Eleven and who misses out.

For India, limited-overs star batsman Rohit Sharma is in focus. After KL Rahul failing to get a spot, selectors have opted for Rohit Sharma as opener but the Mumbai batsman failed in the practice match held in Vizianagaram. The other factor that might work against Rohit is South African deadly bowling attack. Kagiso Rabada and Philander have dismissed Rohit Sharma six times each.

The next in focus is wicket-keeper batsman Rishab Pant. This Delhi Capitals batsman’s poor form in recent times has been a big headache. Wriddhiman Saha is already in the squad and considering his seniority, the team management might make the change in the last minute.

India’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out with stress fracture and Umesh Yadav has replaced him. Umesh has been in and out of the squad but it will be Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami and Bhuvneswar Kumar who are the prime bowlers.

Overall, team India has a big task in this series and would be testing waters for key players.
