India vs South Africa Live Streaming, 1st Test Day 1: Rohit Sharma-led India begin their two-match Test series vs hosts South Africa on Tuesday, at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion. India have never won a men’s Test series in South Africa and will be aiming to change that in this series. India have played a two-Test series in South Africa before, in November 2001 and December 2013.
India’s pace attack will be aiming to dominate with all eyes on Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. An ankle injury has ruled out Mohammed Shami from the series so either Mukesh Kumar or Prasidh Krishna will feature as the third seamer.
Meanwhile, it will be India’s batting which will need to step up. Rohit Sharma’s career average of 46.54 drops to 15.37 in South Africa. Meanwhile, KL Rahul’s goes down from 33.44 to 25.60. Only Virat Kohli boasts a strong South Africa average of 51.35.
Speaking ahead of the match, Shardul Thakur said on R Ashwin’s YouTube channel, “South Africa is one of the most difficult countries to play Test cricket in. Even if we play all over the country, this is one country where you can’t expect [to know] what you will get from the pitch.”

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ravichandran Ashwin, Srikar Bharat, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Mukesh Kumar
