After the T20I series, India and South Africa are ready to start the Test series with the first Test at Vizag. South Africa will start its first assignment for World Test Championship. India will also start their first home Test series. They are the number one Test side in the world and currently are on the first position in the points table with 120 points. South Africa toured India in 2015 when India crushed Proteas by 3-0. Umesh Yadav will replace Bumrah and Rohit Sharma might open with Mayank Aggarwal. South Africa will also go with two spinners. The winning points in this series will be 40 points for each match. The game should be a cracker one.
