IND vs SA 1st Test Match Live Cricket Streaming Online: Shubman Gill’s India will face a stern challenge against World Test Championship winner South Africa in a two-match series that starts from Friday at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India come into the series after their 2-0 victory over West Indies recently while South Africa came to India after drawing a two-Test series in Pakistan 1-1. While India are famed for menacing spinners like Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, South African spinners will prove to be challenge for Indian batters too. Proteas spinners picked up 33 of the 40 wickets available in the two-Test tour of Pakistan. Off-spinner Simon Harmer took 13 wickets in two Tests. Maharaj played only the second Test and took nine wickets in South Africa’s win.
This is South Africa’s first Test tour of India since 2019. Back then, the visitors were blanked 3-0 by the hosts.
