India vs South Africa Live Score, 1st Test Day 1 (India National Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team): South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma called it correctly at the coin toss and opted to bat first against India at Eden Gardens. Kagiso Rabada misses out for South Africa while there’s no B Sai Sudharsan for India.
India’s impressive batting depth is set to face a tough challenge against South Africa’s formidable spin attack as the two evenly-matched sides commence their eagerly-awaited two-match Test series today. The specter of last year’s home defeat against New Zealand looms large for India, when Kiwi spinners Ajaz Patel, Mitchell Santner, and Glenn Phillips claimed a total of 36 wickets across three Tests, leading to an unprecedented 0-3 whitewash.
