It will be interesting to see how India will play out their spin combination for the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium, in Centurion. Will India go with one spinner or go all-out and play both the experienced all-rounders?

The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are discussing their game ahead of the first Test against the Proteas. Ashwin posted a video on his official handle on X captioned, “What could be the secret Jadeja is sharing here?”

India’s bowling has taken a hit as Mohammed Shami who was a doubt ahead of the first Test was unable to clear the fitness test as per the official statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Ashwin will also be eager to participate in both the Tests considering that he is 11 wickets behind the 500 Test wickets milestone. He has also been crucial to India’s success during their overseas red-ball games.

Rohit Sharma on the other hand will make his return to International cricket after his heartbreaking loss as captain when his side lost to Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup hosted in India.
