Mumbai: The second Test between South Africa and India starts on Monday. India are 1-0 up in the three – match series. If India win the Test in Johannesburg, they will win the series in South Africa for the first time in history. Johannesburg also has a history of India winning earlier. Meanwhile, former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has come out in support of India.
Harbhajan says India will win the series this time. “In any case, the current Indian team is stronger than the South African team. If India do not win the series this time, it will be very difficult later. It is believed that India will win the next two matches and win the series. As mentioned earlier, this is a golden opportunity to win a Test series in South Africa.
Earlier, whenever India went on tour in South Africa, it was a very difficult situation. But that is not a problem for the Indian team today. The Indian team has bowlers capable of taking 20 wickets. It has already been said that India has the upper hand this time around, ”Harjabhan said.
KL Rahul’s century saved India in the first match. Mayank Agarwal also shined. But before the second match, India need to improve their batting. Senior players need to be able to build a level playing field. Senior players like Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara are also expected to return to form.
Compared to India’s team strength, the South African team is a little behind. With the exception of Dean Elgar, Themba Bauma and Aiden Markram, there are no big expectations.
