India, 24 December 2025 — The Indian cricket team is gearing up for the upcoming Test series against South Africa, scheduled to begin on December 26, 2025, at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The series consists of three matches and marks an important fixture as both teams look to improve their standings in the ICC World Test Championship.
India's squad, led by captain Virat Kohli, arrived in South Africa earlier this week and has been engaging in rigorous training sessions. The team is looking to bounce back after facing a challenging series loss against Australia earlier this month.
South Africa, captained by Dean Elgar, is also preparing intensely and aims to leverage home advantage. The Proteas last played a Test series against Pakistan, which they won 2-0, boosting their confidence ahead of facing the Indian side.
The series is crucial for India as it provides an opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the ICC Test rankings, currently held by Australia. The matches are also significant for players like Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, who are keen to regain their form.
Fans and analysts are eagerly anticipating the clash, which promises to offer exciting cricket with top players from both sides showcasing their skills. The outcome of this series will have implications for the World Test Championship standings, adding to the stakes for both teams.
