IND vs SA | The Indian cricket team has toured South Africa 7 times in the last 29 years, but they have not won the Test series even once. Team India is currently on South Africa tour for the eighth time and they are looking for their first Test series win. For this, Indian players have also started their preparations. The Indian team will start Mission Africa from December 26 with the first Test at Centurion's SuperSport Park. Before the start of the Test series, the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar has given very special advice to the batsmen of Team India. Tendulkar has also given the mantra for Team India to achieve success in South Africa.Tendulkar said in the show 'Backstage with Boria', 'I have always said, front foot defense is very important. It is very important to come forward and defend. This defense is most useful in South Africa. Front foot defense will prove to be very important in the first 25 overs. Your hands should not go too far from the body. As soon as your hands move away from the body, you lose control. The hands of the Indian batsmen in England were not far away. Many balls did not hit his bat but it didn't matter. Not every batsman in the world can play every ball. Bowlers are there to take wickets. But when your hand goes away from the body, the ball can also take the edge of your bat.Such has been the performance of Sachin Tendulkar in South AfricaSachin Tendulkar is considered as the greatest batsman of all time. Sachin has toured South Africa five times in his career – 1992, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2010. In this, he also has five Test centuries to his name. Sachin is the only batsman from India who has scored more than 1000 test runs in South Africa. He has 1161 runs in 15 Tests in South Africa at an average of over 46.
