 IND vs SA Toss Prediction 

India won the toss in both the T20 internationals so this one could be set up for South Africa. If they do, batting second could be the order of the day.

 IND vs SA Weather Report 

There could be a few interruptions for rain in Visakhapatnam throughout the week, but the chance of rain is generally around the 30 per cent mark. Isolated thunderstorms are forecast in the region, but fortune may favour the cricket weather-wise.

 IND vs SA Pitch Condition 

One of the lesser-used Indian grounds, the stadium’s last notable matches were in the IPL. There is little to suggest the pitch will be out of the ordinary – meaning a dry wicket, which could spin later on.   

 Team NEWS: 

 IND Team News 

Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the IND vs SA 2019 test series due to a stress fracture, with Umesh Yadav replacing him in the squad. India could opt for two spinners instead, however, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav competing to join Ravindra Jadeja in the line-up. Rohit Sharma is set to open the batting in place of KL Rahul, having long been established as India’s one-day opener.

 SA Team News 

Heinrich Klaasen has replaced Rudi Second in the South Africa test squad, but Quinton de Kock is likely to continue behind the stumps having captained the team in the T20 internationals. Faf du Plessis was rested for those games but returns to captain the test team. Anrich Nortje could make his test debut, as could Senuran Muthusamy who is competing with recalled Dane Piedt for a place in the spin-bowling attack behind Keshav Maharaj. Zubayr Hamza also returns after good domestic form.

Key Players:

 IND Key Players: 

Virat Kohli: 
The India captain has 25 test-match centuries to his name, while his two half-centuries in the West Indies means he has passed 50 a further 22 times in his test career now. He has hit a total of 6,749 runs in 135 innings.

Ajinkya Rahane: 
In top form in the Caribbean last month, when he hit 81, 102, 24 and 64* in his four innings. The first innings of this game will be his 100th in test-match cricket and he averages 42.23 having hit ten centuries and another 19 half-centuries in his previous 99.

Mohammed Shami: 
Took nine wickets in the four innings in the Caribbean and has enjoyed success against South Africa before too. In total, the paceman – who will take on added importance in Bumrah’s absence – has 153 wickets in 81 innings.

 SA Key Players: 

Faf du Plessis:
The South Africa captain goes into what could be his 99th and 100th test innings, looking to add to his nine centuries and 19 half-centuries in the longest format. He averages 42.95 in test-match cricket.

Quinton de Kock: 
Scored three half-centuries in four innings against Sri Lanka in South Africa’s most recent test series. He arrives in good form, after scoring 52 and 79* in the T20i series too.

Kagiso Rabada: 
Ranked second in the world test-match bowling rankings, the 24-year-old paceman – who took 3-39 in the final T20i – has racked up 176 wickets in just 37 tests. That includes nine five-wicket hauls, while he has taken ten in a match on four occasions too.

Team Forms:

IND  Team Form

India’s return to test-match action after the World Cup dominated the summer agenda saw them thrash West Indies in both tests in the Caribbean. Ajinya Rahane scored a century and Jasprit Bumrah claimed a record 5-7 from eight overs – both in the second innings – as they won the first test by 318 runs. And the margin of victory was almost as high in the second – Hanuma Vihari scoring a first-innings century before Bumrah claimed 6-27 to five India a 299-run lead at the halfway point. After declaring their third innings early, they eventually won by 257 runs.

SA Recent Team Form

South Africa come into this series having not played a test match since their surprise 2-0 defeat to Sri Lanka in February. That included Kusal Perera’s heroics as he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat when Sri Lanka won the first test by one wicket. Quinton de Kock hit three half-centuries in four innings in the series, but none of the Proteas’ batsman scored a century. South Africa’s only other test matches in 2019 were the back-end of their 3-0 series win against Pakistan.
