Team India will play their first test after their heartbreaking World Cup 2023 defeat when they lock horns with South Africa in the first match of the two-test series on December 26 at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
This series will also mark the return of India's regular captain, Rohit Sharma, along with senior players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj. All of them have been on a break since the conclusion of the 2023 World Cup.
Notably, Indian cricket has been haunted by a 31-year jinx, failing to secure a Test series win in South Africa. In the twilight of their careers, Rohit and Kohli aspire to accomplish what no other Indian teams have achieved so far.
Ro-Ko Gearing Up For Boxing Day Test
Leading up to the highly anticipated Boxing Day Test, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma underwent a focused net session, revealing their exceptional touch.
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently unveiled a video featuring Rohit Sharma's impressive array of shots during the net practice.

Indian batters may face a tough challenge as the Supersport Park track is expected to favour fast bowlers, with the looming threat of rain adding complexity to the opening Test between India and South Africa.
Pointing out the details, the Centurion curator, Brian Bloy expressed little optimism for play on the opening day and a considerable portion of the second day due to heavy rain. The expected drop in temperature implies that spinners are unlikely to get much help off the track.
