#3 Green Top

There was a lot of talk regarding the Centurion pitch by the captains of both teams. While Kohli said that he did not expect such a pitch at all, his counterpart called it an 'uncharacteristic' South African pitch. Both Captains would have their wishes fulfilled in the 3rd Test as a green top awaits the two teams at Wanderers.
Wanderers is traditionally known for its pace and seam. It is the quickest ground that South Africa possesses. Newlands has swing, Supersport Park has bounce, but Wanderers has both.
Having collapsed in three out of the four innings, the Indian batsmen would have to be on the top of their game to bat for long periods of time on the lively pitch in Johannesburg.
