South Africa vs India 1st Test Day 1

South Africa vs India 1st Test, Day 1
2
India will be playing its first test with South
Africa today (December 26th - 2023). It is quite
a long time since India has played a test match
this year. This is a good day for the test
cricket lovers. However, according to sources,
rain can ruin today's match. Rain clouds loom
over SuperSport Park in Centurion as India and
South Africa prepare for the first of two
Tests.  If the weather gods play spoilsport, the
much-anticipated Boxing Day match, in which India
hopes to break its Test series jinx in South
Africa, might be reduced to a one-match shootout.
AccuWeather forecasts a 96 probability of rain
during the day, with approximately four hours of
precipitation likely. The outfield, which has
already been soaked by relentless rain over the
last two days, is unlikely to be in good
shape. Even if the rain stops throughout the
day, there is a 60 probability that it will
return during the night, impacting the second
day's play as well. These dismal circumstances
will likely benefit both teams' pacers, who will
enjoy the dark skies and probable swing bowling
opportunities.

Shami's absence is a blow for India
Despite acknowledging the enormous vacuum left by
Mohammed Shami's injury, India skipper Rohit
Sharma voiced faith in his bowlers to stand up
despite the difficult conditions. "Our fast
bowlers have earned that respect, because of
their outstanding performances in overseas
conditions," he said. "They've done well in
Australia, England, and South Africa over the
last five to seven years." We won the first Test
in South Africa last year but came close in the
other two matches. They have pitched in and
delivered exactly what we expected." "Shami's
experience and what he has done for our team over
the years will be greatly missed," he added.
Someone will come to take his position it will
not be easy, but we have a lot of faith in
whoever takes his place." Watch live cricket for

Focus on pace and bounce as bowlers take center
stage
With swing and seam bowling expected to dominate,
all eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed
Siraj to lead India's assault. Mukesh Kumar or
Prasidh Krishna are anticipated to fill the
vacuum left by Shami. However, India's batting
will need to be strong to offset the Proteas'
bowling strength. In South Africa, Rohit Sharma
and KL Rahul's averages fall considerably,
putting enormous pressure on Virat Kohli's
veteran shoulders. Shardul Thakur emphasized the
difficulties of playing Test cricket in South
Africa on R Ashwin's YouTube channel "South
Africa is one of the most difficult countries to
play Test cricket in." Even if we play all around
the country, this is one place where you never
know what you're going to get from the pitch."
