Since their most memorable Test series in South Africa in 1992, India have never made progress there. India will play South Africa in the first of the two Tests beginning here on Tuesday. “Need to accomplish what no one has accomplished in this area of the planet,” Rohit said during the pre-match question and answer session. Rohit additionally didn’t have any desire to talk about his cricketing future, trying to say that he needs to partake in the game.

“I need to play anything cricket is there before me,” he said without explaining his arrangements.

KL Rahul is supposed to keep wickets in the principal Test yet the captain said it will be ultimately depends on wicketkeeper-hitter to conclude how long he needs to wear the gloves in the five-day design.

“I don’t know how long KL Rahul would need to keep wickets yet he is sharp at this point,” said Rohit.

India’s Reality Cup legend, Mohammed Shami has been managed out of the series with a lower leg injury and Rohit named the speedster’s nonappearance as a major misfortune.

“Shami will be a major miss for how he has helped us throughout the long term. Somebody will top off (the) opening yet it will not be simple,” he said.
