India will take on South Africa in the 2nd Test match of the series on 3 January 2024. After a shocking defeat of one innings and 32 runs to the Proteas, the visitors will be looking to bounce back in style at the Newlands cricket ground, Cape Town. India has the potential chance to get an consolation award by drawing the series if they figure out how to defeat verifiable difficulties and secure their very first Test success at the venue. Prominently, India has never risen triumphantly in a Test match in Cape Town, with their best results being draws in 1993 and 2011.
Team Details: SA Vs India 2nd Test Match
South Africa
Dean Elgar will captain the Proteas in his farewell test match in the absence of Themba Bavuma, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain. Keshav Maharaj, omitted in centurion as a tactical decision, is expected to return in place of Gerald Coetzee, who in turn, is ruled out with pelvic inflammation.
India
Prasidh Krishna, who debuted in Centurion, didn’t exactly satisfy the hopes he set. Not with standing his tall height and a bowling style appropriate for South African circumstances, he returned figures of 1-93. Avesh Khan is likely stepping in to make his Test debut, having been remembered for the crew after the Centurion defeat. Ravindra Jadeja, who missed the main Test because of a back spasm, could supplant Ashwin. In the meantime, Shardul Thakur is purportedly doing great after being hit to his left shoulder during a net session on Saturday.
