Indian Cricket Team has landed in South Africa and started gearing up for the much-awaited Test series. The tri-color nation will look to grab their first-ever Test series win against the Proteas side starting on 26th December at SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Virat Kohli is set to lead Team India in the Test series against Proteas. BCCI has picked a full-strength squad for the much-awaited series. Although, India will miss the services of Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out of the red-ball series due to a hamstring injury. But, India has star players like KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, and others. Meanwhile, new youngsters will also have a big opportunity on their side to prove their worth.

Virat Kohli & Co. sweats out hard in the the nets for Test vs Proteas

Now, a clip from India’s nets session in South Africa has gone viral on social media. In the video, Indian cricketers were seen sweating out hard in the nets. Virat Kohli was seen taking tips from the new coach and former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid. KL Rahul was spotted smashing the bowlers all across the park in the practice session.

This is going to be an important tour for Team India as they will take down the field in search of their very first win. In an interview, Saba Karim mentioned that this is going to be a big series for Virat Kohli. As per him, the burden has been removed from his shoulders and it is going to be interesting to watch how he performs with the bat against Proteas.

“It seems a burden has been removed from Virat Kohli’s head. He can play with an open mind now, he can revive his Test career afresh. The expectation is that he will dish out performances like he was doing two years back,” Saba Karim said as quoted by India News.

“If he bats with an open mind and approach, he can repeat those performances. I have full belief that the form he has shown in the practice sessions, the same form will be seen in the match as well,” he added.
