The India Vs South Africa Test Series in South Africa is going to commence from 26th of December. The series is very important in Indian context as India has never won a test series in South Africa since their first tour in 1991. Therefore, this is a big chance for Team India to win the first ever test series against South Africa. However, India’s number 1 spinner R Ashwin is very close in breaking 2 records in this test series.
Ashwin is just 9 wickets away from breaking Kapil Dev’s record of 435 wickets. By doing so he will be the second leading wicket taker for India in test, just behind Anil Kumble. Moreover, if Ashwin takes 13 more wickets, he will surpass Dale Styen total tally of 439 wickets. As, by bar he will be the only spinner playing the three test matches, the records might be broken by him by the end of 3rd test match.
The upcoming Test and ODI series between South Africa and India will be played without fans after Cricket South Africa decided not to sell any tickets due to the Covid-19 scare in the country.
India and South Africa are going to lock horns in a series of 3 Tests and 3 ODIs from December 26. The red-ball matches will be played at Centurion, Cape Town and Johannesburg, while Paarl and Cape Town will host the 50-over matches from January 19
