India vs South Africa 1st Test Live Streaming:
India and South Africa are set to face off in the first Test of a two-match series at the historic Eden Gardens starting November 14. The stage is set for a fierce competition between a dominant home team and a visiting team determined to adapt and master the challenging conditions of the subcontinent.
India enters the red-ball arena with a new team led by head coach Gautam Gambhir. After a stellar performance in the T20I leg in Australia, they are back at one of their most reliable venues for Test cricket.
The Eden Gardens atmosphere, steeped in tradition and supported by an enthusiastic crowd, has often brought out India’s best players, and they will hope to capitalise on that advantage once again.
IND vs South Africa Team News Ryan ten Douyschaat lauded Dhruv Jurel‘s excellent form, saying that he is unstoppable even after the return of Rishabh Pant. India has called off their search for a seam-bowling all-rounder, dropping Nitish Reddy from the first Test squad and relegating him to India A’s unofficial ODI squad until 19th November, with Pant set to return to the XI.
After their success in Rawalpindi, South Africa is keen to deploy their spinners in Indian conditions. On the eve of the match, WTC-winning captain Temba Bavuma, who returned after missing the Pakistan tour, declined to reveal his combination, saying a decision between three spinners and two pacers, or vice versa, would be taken after Thursday’s training session.
