Following a convincing victory in the ODI series against South Africa, the Indian cricket team is set to extend their record into the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle of 2023-25. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India are gearing up to face Temba Bavuma’s Proteas side in the two-match Test series scheduled to commence on Tuesday, December 26.
While South Africa has traditionally been a formidable force in Test cricket on home soil, India’s stellar performances across formats in the year 2023 have instilled confidence in the team and its fans. The upcoming Test series provides an opportune moment for India to etch their name in history by registering a significant win against South Africa.
SA vs IND Head to Head record in Tests
The Proteas boast an impressive record against India at home, securing 12 wins in 23 Test matches and enduring only 4 defeats thus far. However, the Indian team, buoyed by their recent successes, sees this as an excellent chance to challenge the home team’s dominance.
India’s last Test victory in South Africa dates back to the Boxing Day clash in 2021, led by Virat Kohli. Now, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the team aims to replicate or even surpass that feat, showcasing the evolution and strength of Indian cricket.
