The much-anticipated 1st Test between India and South Africa has been delayed due to rain on Tuesday. Ahead of the latest inspection by the umpire at 1:45 PM, Indian coach Rahul Dravid warned South Africa that this team has the ability to clear up 20 wickets.
Rahul Dravid said, “We come close a couple of times and we’ve played some good cricket here. Maybe a few critical moments…we haven’t been able to get over the line. Having said that, we looked at the last series – we bowled well there and we have the ability to take 20 wickets.”
“You need some luck in these conditions as well; there are a lot of plays and misses. You have to ensure you put the ball in right areas and bat with discipline and recognise that you’re never in, in these conditions in South Africa. You need to get little things right against a good team like South Africa.”
Rahul Dravid also announced the debut of Prasidh Krishna in Test cricket.
