It is noteworthy that Team India has never managed to win a test series in South Africa, though, the team has come close on many occasions. India won the first test back in 2019-20 but then lost two games on the trot to lose the three-match series.
Now under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India will again attempt to rewrite their name in history books by defeating Proteas in their own backyard.
Interestingly, the series will be a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, hence the victory or loss would impact the overall standing of the teams in the WTC points table.
