South Africa vs India 2018: 5 South Africa players to watch out for in the Test series

#4 Keshav Maharaj

Keshav Maharaj took two five-fors in New Zealand and is yet to play India in any format

The rising left-arm spinner has found noticeable success in the limited number of Tests that he has played. Having debuted against Australia at Perth in 2016, Maharaj has also played New Zealand and England in their own den bowling wicket-taking lines persistently.

He took two five-fors in New Zealand – that included a career-best 6/40 at Wellington – and performed a holding role with perfection on the dry pitches of England, something which allowed the pacers to bowl an attacking line with freedom. A similar role will be expected from him at home against an opposition renowned for playing spin well and who he is yet to face in his short career.
