Since the Cricket World Cup 2023 final heartbreak, India captain Rohit Sharma will return to international cricket for the first time, leading the Indian team in the 2-match Test series against South Africa. While Rohit and several other Indian cricketers are expected to be still a little heartbroken over what happened against Australia in the World Cup final, Rohit will be a man in the spotlight over multiple affairs that have transpired in the past few weeks.

On Saturday afternoon though, Rabada and Ngidi bowled full tilt at the centre training wicket of the Supersport Park and facing them was Dean Elgar, who is playing in his last series.

India will kickstart the two-match Test series against South Africa with the first Test at Centurion from Tuesday onwards. For many seniors like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, this will be their first international assignment following the loss to Australia in the World Cup finals last month.
