In the first round at Centurion, Team India recorded a resounding victory. This is the first victory of the Indian team on this ground. Virat Sena began the three-game series with a victory by defeating South Africa by 113 runs. Now the second Test of the series will be played from Monday, January 3.
Even though the India team has won the first test, despite this, senior batsman Cheteshwar Pujara may be dropped from the second test team. Pujara was a failure in both innings of the first test played at Centurion. He returned to the pavilion in zero in the first innings. In the second inning, he scored 16 runs on 64 balls.
Pujara hasn’t been able to play big innings for a long time. In the year 2020, he scored runs at an average of just 20.38. During this, his highest score was 54 races. In 2021, Pujara has scored 702 runs in 14 rounds with an average of 28.08. His highest score this year was 91 races.
It is believed that Shreyas Iyer may have a shot at the game XI in the second test. Iyer marked a brilliant century in his first test against New Zealand. Iyer has played two tests so far. During this, he has scored 202 runs with an average of 50.5. In test cricket, Iyer has scored a century and a half with the bat.
