He remains the backbone of batting for India. So far, he has scored 2428 runs in 26 Test matches at an average of 51.66, which includes 7 centuries and 12 half-centuries. He can bat against South Africa at home and can also become a top series run scorer.
Rishabh Pant

Kuldeep Yadav
Left arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav can play a big role in this series. Especially at the Eden Garden Stadium in Kolkata, his ball can prove to be a disaster for South Africa.
