India and South Africa are set to meet in the three-game Test Series, with the first game starting this Sunday at Centurion’s SuperSport Park. The Indian team has never won a Test Series in South Africa and the upcoming series is their eighth Proteas tour.
The Indian cricket team is gearing up for their upcoming three-match Test series in South Africa, starting on December 26 in Centurion. Here are the top 5 bowlers from both teams that you should watch out for in this series
The most sensational and famous member of South Africa’s spell is only 26 and holds the duty of directing the team’s bowling attack against India. Rabada is one of the most adept internationals among the pace group and is the only one in the team ranked in the ICC’s Test top ten.
Rabada was the leading wicket-taker in Test cricket in 2018. It will be very thrilling watch Rabada to take wickets using his speed against India.
Just like Kagiso Rabada, Jasprit Bumrah is also the speedster of India with many death-over wickets in his hands. Jasprit Bumrah’s stellar climb in Test cricket has been one of the primary causes for India’s constant victory on foreign soil. One of the most wicket-taking bowlers in recent periods, Jasprit Bumrah will be once again spearheading India’s pace attack in the upcoming South Africa tour. Bumrah will guide India’s bowling spell in their search to nail their chaste Test series triumph in South Africa.
The senior Indian speedster is the second player from the present Indian team to have been called South Africa on three tours along with Cheteshwar Pujara.
Ishant knocked 7 wickets in his first tour to South Africa and five in the next. He asserted another eight from just two matches in India’s last tour in 2018.
As the first of South Africa’s Kolpak returnees to be re-selected for Tests, Olivier’s challenge is to prevail hearts, minds, and matches. Some South Africans still bear a grudge about his leaving and then responding a query about whether he desired to play for England. He has been the peach bowler in the first-class match so far, was recognized at the first chance, and is listed to make an international comeback in this series.
In the 2018 South Africa vs India Test series Shami was the joint-highest wicket-taker with Vernon Philander and Kagiso Rabada. Shami will play an important part with Bumrah and Ishant for India with the new ball to disassemble the Proteas batsmen in the upcoming Test series.
