South Africa vs India 2018: 4 things that are in store for the third Test

#2 High Altitude

Wanderers is surrounded by stands on all four sides

Wanderers is known as the 'Bullring' due to the way the stadium has been designed. The lofty viewing stands circumvent the ground so much so that the players have to raise their necks considerably high to have a view of the viewing galleries.

This gives the stadium the shape of the bowl which can prove to be intimidating for the visitors at times.

Moreover, the ground is located at a high altitude. The air at such locations is very thin. This leads to two things - the ball travels very quickly in the air and there is also a lot of swing on offer.

Coupled with a lively pitch where the ball would seam around, such conditions make for extremely challenging batting conditions.
