India Vs South Africa 2nd Test: Team India standing on the threshold of making history in Johannesburg, rain can become a roadblock


Posted on 3rd Jan 2022 11:36 am by rohit kumar

The second match of the 3-match Test series will be played between India and South Africa from today. The match will take place at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Team India has a golden opportunity to change history in Johannesburg. Actually, in the last 29 years, the Indian team has not been able to win a Test series on African soil to date. After winning the first Test played in Centurion by 113 runs, Team India will have a good chance of winning the historic series in the second match.

 

rain can spoil the game

However, rain can create problems for the Indian team on their way to victory. It rained in Johannesburg on Saturday and Sunday. At the same time, rain has been predicted on the first day of the match as well. 70 to 60 percent rain is expected on Monday. There is every possibility of a delayed start of the match on the first day.

 

The news of concern for Indian fans is that there is a 50 to 60% chance of rain on the second day as well. Although the weather will be clear on the third day, according to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of 60 to 70 percent rain on the fourth day and 50 to 60 percent on the fifth day.

 

India's coin runs in Johannesburg

Johannesburg can be called the stronghold of Team India. The Indian team has not lost a single test match on this ground to date. Here India has played a total of 5 Tests, out of which it has won two, while three matches have been drawn. In 1992, Team India played the first test match here. Whereas the last test match was played in 2018. In these 29 years, the South African team has never been able to beat the Indian team.

 

Pujara-Rahane have to show their mettle

In Johannesburg, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane will probably have their last chance to prove themselves. While Pujara has not scored a century in the last 43 innings, Rahane's bat also got a century before 23 innings. Pujara flopped badly in the Centurion Test, while Rahane could not convert the start he got. Shreyas Iyer can also be tried in place of Cheteshwar in the second match.

 

who will replace de Kock

Quinton de Kock, who suddenly announced retirement after the Centurion Test, may get a ticket to Playing XI as wicketkeeper. Verne has played two Test matches for SA so far and has scored 39 runs. In 50 matches of first-class cricket, he has 3429 runs in his name at an average of 52 and has taken 139 catches and 9 stumpings behind the wicket.
