India's batting maestro, Virat Kohli, has embarked on his journey to South Africa for the upcoming two-match Test series, marking their second series in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. The much-anticipated series is set to kick off on December 26 at the SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion, followed by the second Test scheduled for January 3, 2024, at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town.
Having been rested for the T20Is and subsequent ODIs against South Africa, Kohli is expected to play a pivotal role in the Test matches. His departure comes after India leveled the T20I series against the Proteas 1-1, with the upcoming three-match ODI series commencing on December 17 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
Captured at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai, Kohli, along with captain Rohit Sharma, is geared up for the challenges that lie ahead. This soon became the latest cricket news. Donning a brown jacket and carrying a duffle bag, Kohli took a moment to pose for a selfie with airport staff, creating a buzz among fans.
Virat Kohli boasts an impressive Test record against South Africa, accumulating 1236 runs at an average of 56.18 in 14 Tests. Whenever he does well, the match prediction is in prediction of India. His experience in playing in South Africa and batting prowess will be critical as India aims for success in this crucial series.
