The Indians once labelled ‘tigers at home and lambs abroad’ in Test cricket, have a chance of breaking new ground in South Africa tour.
“Most teams are doing well at home and struggling overseas. So this is an opportunity for India to move away from the pack and especially Kohli will return after some rest and fresh moments of his marriage.
“South Africa lost badly to India when they came here in 2015. India may have won the odd Test but they have never won a series in South Africa and Australia. India will play three Tests, six one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches during the two-month tour. The series begins with the first Test in Cape Town on January 5.
“They had a very good 2017. They have to carry on with the good work overseas also, away from Asia. At any given time you cannot sit on your past laurels. Both teams have good bowling attacks. The bowlers will do a very good job but it’s how our batsmen stand up to the requirement.
