by
Shubman Gill’s Team India have posted a hat-trick of wins in Test cricket to get their World Test Championships (WTC) 2025-27 campaign back on track.
Their next opponents will be reigning WTC winners South Africa, who are coming into this series full of confidence after levelling the two-game series against Pakistan 1-1 with a brilliant win in the second Test.The home side have decided to make a big call by retaining wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel in the playing 11 after his century in both innings against South Africa A in a multi-day match this month. Jurel will replace all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy as Rishabh Pant returns in his role as the vice-captain of the team.

Pant has been out of Test cricket since June after fracturing his foot in the 4th Test vs England. The Lucknow Super Giants captain will be taking the wicketkeeper’s gloves while Jurel will be playing as the specialist batter.

For South Africa, skipper Temba Bavuma will be returning to side after missing the Pakistan series. India skipper Gill believes reverse swing can play a big role in Kolkata as well.

“Reverse swing plays a big part if it’s a dry wicket. During the 2024 series against England the pacers took crucial wickets even as the pitches were spin friendly. If it’s reversing the pacers are always in the game,” Gill said in the pre-match press conference.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be aiming for a big record as he needs only 10 runs to become only the fourth cricketer ever to achieve the feat of taking 300 wickets and scoring 4000 runs in Test cricket.
