The second and final Test match of the series between India and South Africa is set to be played from December 3 at Newlands in Cape Town. After winning the first Test, South Africa would be eager to secure the series with another victory, while India would be determined to exhibit their skills and level the series with a win. Here are three players to keep an eye on in the upcoming final Test.
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
Before the first Test, there was much discussion about Jaiswal’s potential due to his impressive performances in his brief career. However, he has yet to demonstrate his abilities on this tour, managing only two and three runs in the first test’s innings. Despite failing to make an impact, Yashasvi is now fueled by a strong determination and is poised for a comeback, making him a player to keep an eye on.
2. Virat Kohli
After being rested from the T20I and ODIs, Virat Kohli made a good comeback by scoring 38 and 76 runs in both innings of the first Test match. Although he had a good start in both innings, he missed out on a big knock. Going forward, he would be eager to play a big knock to help India level the series.
3. Nandre Burger
Nandre Burger has left a lasting impression with his pace, bounce, and ability to swing the ball both ways. His bowling brilliance shone brightly in the first test of the series, where Indian batters seemed at sea facing him. Bagging seven crucial wickets, he played a pivotal role in the Proteas’ victory. Looking ahead, he is poised to be a key player in the second match as well.
