Five key players for Team India in the Durban Test

Without being prejudiced, this is high time that all members of team India sit together and take a vow to fight it out till the last. Everyone who knows even a little about this fascinating game is aware of the fact that there is no dearth of talent in team India. So much so that as of today, perhaps, Indian squad is the best placed to challenge the mighty South African cricket team on their very soil. To sum up, I just intend to say that under the excellent leadership of MS Dhoni, team India has sailed through challenging situations on number of occasions, so let us be positive. However, in my opinion the following key players are going to play a major role in the second test in Durban:

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli

Undoubtedly he is the back bone of the batting for team India. In case he is able to lay a solid foundation, the chances of team India will simply increase. For most of his followers, he has already filled the void left vacant by Sachin Tendulkar. The impressive stats of this 25 year old aggressive batsman speak volume about his talent. He has got a pretty good average of 45.31 in Test matches. Till date, he has played only 21 Tests and 35 innings, but he has already scored 5 centuries and 8 half centuries. His contribution in the first test was crucial for India.
