By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan December 21, 2021
After a successful campaign against New Zealand at home, India will play three Test matches and as many ODIs against South Africa, starting from December 26. The Men in Blue, who are visiting South Africa for the first time since 2018, will be keen to clinch their maiden Test series win in the African nation. Meanwhile, the hosts haven't played a Test match in six months and had to cancel two ODIs against the Netherlands due to the Omicron outbreak.
