INDIA TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA 2023 -24
"India vs South Africa 1st Test: Virat Kohli Set to Return at Centurion; R Ashwin Expected to Miss Out"
In the upcoming 1st Test against South Africa, India's ace spinner R Ashwin might find himself out of the squad. This potential exclusion isn't a reflection of his form, but rather due to the anticipated conditions and pitch at Centurion, where the match is scheduled from December 26 to 30.
According to Bryan Bloy, the curator of the Centurion pitch, heavy rain is forecasted on the opening day of the match. There are concerns that the first day could be entirely washed out, with possible interruptions on the second day as well.
Probable Playing 11 for India in the 1st Test might see Yashasvi Jaiswal partnering with Rohit Sharma as the opening duo, while Shubman Gill is expected to bat at number 3. Kohli's return to the lineup is confirmed, adding strength to India's batting order.
Stay tuned for further updates and the finalized playing 11 as the match approaches.
