The Indian team will play the first of three Test matches against South Africa today in Centurion. Team India has never won a Test series in South Africa. There are numerous match-winning players on the Indian side, but the selectors have not included a powerful player. This player’s game is now causing havoc. Let’s learn more about this player.

This player was left out

Many match-winner players have been named to the Indian side to face South Africa, but there is one dangerous batsman who has not been included in the team. Suryakumar Yadav is the man we are talking about. Surya is putting up big numbers in the domestic tournament. While batting with a roar, this man hit a double century in the final of the Police Invitation Shield cricket event against Paid Sports Club. He was removed from the game after scoring 249 runs.

Suryakumar pitched a ferocious inning

Suryakumar Yadav smashed 249 runs in 152 balls against Paed Sports Club in the final of the Police Invitation Shield Cricket Tournament, hitting 5 sixes and 37 fours. From the boundary, he scored a total of 178 runs. Everyone was persuaded of his furious performance. This batter blasted the bowlers away. Suryakumar was not selected for the Test series against South Africa, but he has staked his claim for the ODI series with a double century. Suryakumar can make a difference against any hitter when he gets into his stride. He is well-known for throwing long innings.

Unbelievable vs New Zealand

Suryakumar Yadav batted well against New Zealand. He’d scored a stunning half-century. Surya has 244 runs in 11 T20 matches and 124 runs in three One-Day Internationals for India. Even the most powerful batsmen are terrified of his batting. He is a fantastic match player.

Team India is currently in South Africa

Today is the opening test match of a three-match series between India and South Africa at Centurion. So far, the Indian squad has failed to win the series against South Africa. The squad has played 20 test matches there, with just three victories. Captains like Sourav Ganguly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Rahul Dravid were unable to complete the feat. Virat Kohli has a chance to accomplish this accomplishment.

India’s likely playing XI against South Africa is as follows:

KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
