South Africa vs India 2018 : 5 players who can ensure India's first ever test series win against the Proteas
Team India has been in scintillating form in the longer format of the game over the last year and a half. India currently holds the top spot in the ICC test rankings. Virat Kohli and his men have been invincible during the entire Indian home season. They are on an unbeaten streak of seven consecutive test series wins. However, the team is well aware that the tour to South Africa might be the series that actually defines the potential of the Indian side and where it goes in the coming years. India's tour of South Africa is the first stop for Team India on their overseas test endeavor for the next 12 months.
Here's looking at 5 key Indian players who can guide India to their first ever test series victory in South Africa:
#1 Virat Kohli
India playing a series and Kohli not carrying the maximum expectations, is that even possible? That is why, for India to win their first-ever test series in South Africa, the team would have high expectations from their skipper. Kohli has scored a truckload of runs across all formats and is currently in the form of his life. He has also had a good record in South Africa. He is at the peak of his game and understands it better than anyone. The Indian captain would know how important it is for him to fire for India to have a chance of defeating South Africa in their own den.
