Virat Kohli got a big shock in South Africa, what happened before the match?

IND vs SA: The Test series between India and South Africa is going to start in Centurion. The match will start on 26th December and every player of Team India is working hard for this match. But just 24 hours before the start of the match, Team India has suffered a big blow. The news is also bad for Team India because it may increase its troubles in South Africa. Actually the news is that the weather in Centurion is very bad and it has been raining heavily in the city since morning. Due to this rain, Team India's morning practice session could not take place. Virat Kohli has suffered the most due to the absence of this practice session because he has not had much batting practice in South Africa.

Let us tell you that Team India had practiced extensively in Centurion on Sunday and on 25th December i.e. on the occasion of Christmas, the players had to participate in optional practice. This session was important for Virat because till now he has practiced batting only once in this country. He had to go from South Africa to London for 2-3 days in between and due to this he could not participate in the intra-squad match. Other batsmen have got more opportunity to prepare than Virat. Although Virat will have the option of indoor practice, but outdoor practice is different and with this the batsman can adapt to the climate there in a better way.

Virat's record is amazing

However, fans do not need to worry too much because Virat Kohli has an amazing record in South Africa. This right-handed batsman scores runs at an average of more than 50 on South African soil. Kohli has scored 719 runs in 7 tests in South Africa at an average of 51.35. In this he has scored 2 centuries with his bat. He has also scored 3 half-centuries. Talking about Centurion ground, this player has scored 211 runs in 2 matches. In which 153 runs have also come from his bat.

Team India never won in South Africa

Let us tell you that Team India has never won any Test series on South African soil. Team India has been touring South Africa since 1992 and has failed to win the series every time. So far, a total of 8 test series have been played between the two countries in South Africa. Out of which South Africa has won 7 times, whereas in the year 2010, one test series was a draw. It is clear that this time Team India has a chance to create history.
