5 reasons why South Africa might struggle against Team India in the upcoming Test series

#1. Lack of match practice

The South Africans in huddle before taking the field

South Africa last played a Test match in the second week of October this year and it will be more than two months since they took the field as a Test unit. On the other hand, team India has just competed against Sri Lanka in a three-match Test series and all the players have had real match practice.

Being away from Test cricket for a couple of months might lead to the South Africans being a little rusty when they take the field against the Indians. The Indians, on the other hand, would be looking to take full advantage of the same. If India will succeed in registering their first ever test series win on South African soil or not, is something we will need to wait and watch.
