Team India discarded opener Gautam Gambhir feels being the world’s No.1 Test side, India should win in “every condition” as Virat Kohli and Co will depart on a tough Test and limited-overs series in South Africa starting January. Post South Africa, India will also travel to England and Australia, where conditions will not be as conducive to the spinners as they are at home. Besides, the famed Indian batting line-up will also be tested by the moving ball.
“I hope they have got the confidence from what they have done in the last two years. Even if they have played the bulk of their cricket at home, they should go to South Africa with a lot of confidence, a lot of belief as the no.1 Test side and I hope they can deliver there. “Ultimately, the no.1 side should be able to win in every condition. I hope India continues the same form what they have shown at home,” he added.
Team India to play three Tests, six ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals against South Africa during their challenging tour.
