India vs South Africa Boxing Day Test Telecast Channel: Where to watch and live streaming details in India
Having clinched the ODI series 2-1, India will now face South Africa in a two-match Test series in the concluding part of their multi-format tour. The opening Test begins on Boxing Day (December 26) at SuperSport Park in Centurion. India have never won a Test series in the Rainbow Nation, so they will be keen to rewrite history this time.
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who missed the white-ball leg of the tour, will feature in the red-ball matches. The latter briefly returned home due to a family emergency, but has since rejoined the team. KL Rahul will continue to keep wickets for the team in the Test matches as well.
There have been a few changes to the Test squad since the one that was originally announced. Pacer Mohammed Shami, whose inclusion was subject to fitness, has been ruled out due to injury. Ishan Kishan has pulled out citing personal reasons and has been replaced by KS Bharat. Also, Abhimanyu Easwaran has come in for Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is out due to injury.
