South Africa won the T20 and the ODI series against IndiaSouth Africa has achieved wonderful results on the Indian tour so far. They started off with a win in the T20 series and then outplayed India in the ODI series to clinch it as well. They haven’t lost a test series away from home from last 9 years and India will have their work cut out in the upcoming test series.South Africa has some experienced players along with players who are trying to carve a niche for themselves and it will be interesting to see how all these players cope up with the Indian conditions.So who will be the players in the South Africa’s playing X1 in the first test, let’s try and predict it:
#1 Dean Elgar
Dean Elgar is a left-handed batsman who has played 17 tests for South Africa.He has scored 828 runs at an average of 39.42. He was also called for the ODI series as a replacement for JP Duminy.
Elgar will have an important role to play in the test series. He will have to make sure that he doesn’t get out to the seamers and is well set when the spinners come on to bowl. It will reduce the burden of the middle order.
