India will look to win their first ever series in South Africa. For that, they have to beat South Africa in Cape Town in the third and final Test match, starting on 11 January. However, India have never won a Test match at here: They have lost three and drew twice here.
India will welcome Virat Kohli back for the series decider. Unless they decide to leave out R. Ashwin or a fast bowler, Hanuma Vihari is likely to make way for Kohli. Ishant Sharma, too, is expected to replace the injured Mohammed Siraj.
South Africa, on the other hand, are expected to field the same lineup that won the second Test match, in Johannesburg. They have lost just twice at the Newlands since 2007, and will look to begin their first series in the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle with a win.
