South Africa v India at Centurion, 1st Test - day 1
Two comprehensive series wins against the Australia and New Zealand at home, a confident looking India will take on South Africa in the first of the three test matches at the SuperSport Park, Centurion from 16th·December. Though the series is being staged at a far from ideal time, considering the ICC Cricket World Cup is just around the corner, the battle between the two teams sitting atop the ICC Test Rankings is very much 'the' rivalry for cricketing supremacy.
The home side’s plan of dominating the series from the word go may be hampered as a few key players have injuries to deal with. Topping that list is the Proteas captain Graeme Smith who fractured the ring finger of his left hand in the first ODI against Pakistan in the recently concluded series in Abu Dhabi. The Proteas are also sweating over the fitness of their star batsman Hashim Amla who struck his left forearm while fielding at short leg in the second test against Pakistan. Amla, who has been in sublime form in both the test and 50-over format of the game, scored 264 runs in his last four test innings and will be a great asset on home conditions. Alviro Petersen, who made his test debut in February this year, has played extremely well to cement his place as a specialist batsman. The current opening partner to captain Smith, Petersen became only the third South African batsman, after Andrew Hudson and Jacobus Rudolph, to score a ton on debut.
A confident looking Indian side will look to conquer the land of rainbows and continue their brilliant run of form in the longer version of the game. The devastating Virender Sehwag will be vital for the side to unsettle the South African pacers from day one. His opening partner Gautam Gambhir is the perfect foil and has come into some good form with back-to-back hundreds against New Zealand in the recently concluded ODI series. With heavyweights like Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman to follow, the MS Dhoni – led Indian side is the stronger side on paper. This series will also be an opportunity for Suresh Raina to master the ability to play the short pitched delivery, something that has been a glitch in his batting. The selectors have also included the likes of Wriddhiman Saha and Cheteshwar Pujara in the squad, the latter an option should Raina fail in the first test.

Zaheer Khan will continue to spearhead the bowling department with Ishant Sharma and S.Sreesanth playing as the other two pacers. The selectors have also added youngster Jaidev Unadkat and Umesh Yadav in the test squad. 19-year-old Unadkat was picked after his good bowling performances in the under-19 team, where he spearheaded the bowling attack. Umesh Yadav, another medium pacer, was picked after good consistent performances for Vidarbha in both Ranji and Duleep Trophy. His ability to bowl at 140 kmph with a fair bit of consistency triggered his selection for this tour. In the spin department, Harbhajan Singh would be raring to return to action and be amongst the wickets. Harbhajan, who loves to bowl on a pitch that has a bit of bounce, will look to utilize the conditions at Centurion to his advantage against the South African batsmen, who aren’t great fans of spin bowling.
Setting sights on another series win, the Dhoni-led Indian side will go into the first test on Thursday looking to dominate from day one.
South Africa will go into the match with home advantage and the onus is on them to take the game to the Indians. Centurion is the closest India will get to home conditions on this tour, and should they wish to end their poor run in South Africa, a win here is a must as the series will only get a whole lot tougher. A 500+ first innings score is a must for India, and with a good seam attack.
