Did you know, South Africa was banished from world cricket for 21 years from 1970 to 1991. It was because the black players in the country were discriminated against on the basis of their colour.
Team South Africa played its first international match against India on 10th November 1991. At that time, Keppler Wessels was the captain of South Africa. The first test match ended in a draw.
India Vs South Africa Tournament
Team India’s last tour of South Africa in 2018 ended with 2-1, in favour of Team South Africa.
This year, India is on its South Africa tour from 26th December to 23rd January under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Rahul Dravid will be the coach for Team India in this tournament.
There will be test matches between India and South Africa followed by the ODI matches. It is a good chance for Team India to book the win for themselves.
