South Africa vs India 2018: 5 signs that Virat's team is plagued by overconfidence

Team selection

Rohit Sharma has failed to impress in the first two Test matches

By including Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Hardik Pandya in the playing XI in Cape Town, India shot itself in the foot. Dropping Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the hero of the first Test, in Centurion did not help the team's cause either. This self inflicted trouble has done India irreparable harm.

As a result, half of the players are playing for their place in the side. The likes of Rahane and Bhuvi are sitting on the sidelines doubting their ability. Those who are playing are not sure whether they would feature in the next game. This has led a sense of insecurity to creep in among the team.
