A T20 series consisting of 3 matches is yet to be played following the ODI series to be ended on 16th February, 2018. As far as the record of Indian team of test matches in South Africa is concerned, then India have only won two matches in South Africa out of 17 they played. The Indian team was quite in form in test cricket, but after consecutively winning 9 series, they lost test series against South Africa and that was only due to the less experience in playing overseas pitches.
Although the Indian team is quite familiar with limited over format especially away home, as Virat Kohli is eyeing the ODI series and would eagerly making strategy to open the 6-Match series’ account on the victorious notes. The visitors are entering to Durban after winning their last game played at Johannesburg that would help the Indian side to build their confidence and take the advantage of pitch conditions.
