Team India’s strongest predicted playing XI for 1st Test against South Africa

    BCCI named KL Rahul as vice-captain for South Africa test series.

    All-rounder: Ravichandran Ashwin

    Ravichandran Ashwin

    Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the important pillars of the Indian national cricket team for a long time now. The veteran is actively playing Test cricket for India. He has not only helped the team provide crucial breakthroughs but has also scored runs when it mattered the most.

    Ashwin recently surpassed Harbhajan Singh to become the third-highest wicket-taker for India in Tests. Ravi Ashwin took 427 wickets while also scoring 5 centuries and 11 fifties. The green pitch in South Africa assists pacers but still, Ravi Ashwin can be a good choice as an all-rounder who can be handy.
