Both the teams will be having different objectives in this tour. While the Proteas will be eyeing redemption after what was a dismal show at the World Cup, the Virat Kohli led Indian team will be eager to perform at their best in home conditions. The Indian team will also be soaring high on their recent dominating victory in the Caribbean where it was exciting to keep an eye on the live cricket score.

A much younger and inexperienced South African team will feel the heat under the Indian conditions especially in the absence of Faf du Plessis who has been excluded from the squad for the three-match T20I series. In Faf’s absence, Quinton de Kock will serve as his deputy. Faf will remain in charge of the Test side. Rassie van der Dussen will serve as de Kock’s deputy in the series while Bavuma has been named as vice-captain of the Test side. 

The T20Is are scheduled to be played in Dharamsala, Mohali and Bengaluru . The Tests will be played in Visakhapatnam, Pune and Ranchi. This Test series will mark the Proteas’ first in the ICC World Test Championship.

Both squads have some serious talents in them, however there is an evident difference in experience. While the Indian team boasts tons of experience in Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Shikhar Dhawan, the South African team has some serious young talent to offer in the likes of Theunis de Bruyn, Senuran Muthusamy, Rudi Second etc. No one can challenge the abilities of these wonderfully talented cricketers, but at the same time it’s not ignorable that the Indian team will have a clear upper-hand in terms of experience especially in Indian conditions. India is known to dominate in the sub-continent as the conditions are supportive towards Indian players. As far as T20s are concerned, it can be anybody’s game as the conditions matter but not that significantly in the shorter format of the game. The Test series will be the real test for the Proteas. In this series an inexperienced South African team made of youngsters will find them under the pressure against an Indian team that has both experience and supporting conditions. 

But it would be absolute foolery to rule out the possibility of the South African youngsters surprising the experienced Indian team. After all it’s a game of cricket and cricket is the most unpredictable game in the world.

Let’s see how the two squads fair against each other in the shortest as well as the longest format of the game which are going to feature in the upcoming South Africa Tour of India 2019.
