#livecricket #livematch #livestreaming Live: India vs South Africa Live Match Today Commentary, DAY 3, 1ST TEST Match, Eden Gardens, Kolkata | Live Scores & Commentary | IND vs SA Cricket Live Match Today | South Africa Tour of India Hello And Welcome to CricTalks! PREVIEW: The variety of conditions Test cricket offers is evident from how the format's world champions, South Africa, have not been able to even compete in their previous seven Tests in India, the country of their next challenge. They lost six of those Tests comprehensively, and were on their way in the seventh but for the rain. Even within India, South Africa have struggled in a variety of conditions. In 2015-16, they were outdone by a young side for whom the team management considered raging turners a necessity. Then, in 2019-20, against an established home team, South Africa were blanked by huge margins on good batting surfaces that had nothing for the home spinners, who averaged 27.18 compared to their fast bowlers' 17.50. The world champions make this trip in 2025-26 not with any significant new faces in their attack but with more experience, and thus more equipped to compete during what has to be South Africa's toughest tour. Keshav Maharaj was their lead spinner on the previous tour too. Simon Harmer toured in 2015-16. Senuran Muthusamy played two Tests in 2019-20. Kagiso Rabada remains the banker fast bowler. South Africa will also hope that India, who suffered a shock defeat against New Zealand last year and are still a team in transition, still haven't nailed the method to win home Tests. They blanked West Indies earlier this season, but they weren't entirely invulnerable. Still, South Africa will need nearly everything to go their way to win a Test on this tour, just like it did for New Zealand last year. While India are currently third on the WTC points table, having drawn 2-2 in England and beaten West Indies 2-0, South Africa have only just begun their title defence with a 1-1 draw in Pakistan last month.
