4 things to look out for in the 4th Test between India and South Africa

Though the Men in Blue have already won the series in Nagpur itself, they should be wary of complacency creeping in. To beat the World No. 1 Test team, which has been unbeaten on a road since 2006, speaks for itself the achievement of Virat Kohli’Âs young team.For nine long years, the Proteas have defied home advantage in every part of the cricketing world. At the end of the 3rd Test, they have lost their proud record thanks to some exceptional bowling performances, irresponsible batting failures, injuries to key players and the most important of all - rank turners (Said in a polite way).With series already decided, the fourth Test to be held at Firoz Shah Kotla from 3rd December is a dead rubber. Four reasons why one should watch the last Test of the series are as follows.

#1 Virat Kohli\'s homecoming as India\'s Test captain

Kohli thinking about his next move

From the captain of U-19 team who won the World Cup at Kuala Lumpur in 2008 to Indias Test captain, Kohli has come a long way in his career. His captaincy has been a breath of fresh air. Earlier, India used to put emphasis on not losing the test match. Under Kohlis captaincy, the boys devise ways to win the match. Since taking over as captain full time, Kohli has gone with a 6-5 combination. He believes that 20 wickets will win you the test matches.

At his home ground, Kohli has amassed 193 runs at 64.33 including a ton and a fifty. In Tests, though, he has not done much. As pointed by his childhood coach,Kohlis memorable ininings at his home ground, the one he wouldnt like to remember, is when he played just after his fathers death. Delhi would be ansciously waiting for thier hero to lead from the front at Feroz Shah Kotla.
