Cape Town: India search for the first series victory in South Africa will lead to the third and last test begins in the beautiful Newlands in Cape Town on Tuesday, where they won in five previous visits and faced several poser elections.
The interesting series was 1-1 after India claimed a 113-run victory in Pretoria, and South Africa responded with a seven goal victory in Johannesburg, a game that was completed on Thursday.
Quick turnaround gives a little time for reflection, or for a tired body to recover, and India must decide how they will turn to claim what will be a historic victory.
The Captain Virat Kohli Tour is likely to be back at Hanuma Vihari after losing the second test with a seizure again.
Batsmen Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane are under great pressure into the game, but after First Innings failed to respond with 53 and 58 each in seconds, the score that had to see they defended their place.
The possibility of tourists will replace the Sirer Mohammed Siraj, not only because of a hamstring injury that prevents it during the test, but also because of a few returns from the three numbers in the series with an average of 51.00.
One of the experienced duos of Umesh Yadav or Ishant Sharma is running to start, and both will be a strong choice on the goal which traditionally has a stitch movement than steep bounces found in degrees.
But the success or failure of India is likely to be centered on how to batting line up they overcome the race of the house.
“I was a little challenging, I would give it to the batsmen,” coach Rahul Dravid told reporters.
“We are proud of the desire to do better and want to be better, so as our batting unit can certainly see maybe winning some of the main moments and when we get the partnership, making it a little longer.” South Africa will be supported by their unexpected victory, which was achieved when they expelled the target of a 240 victory in the fourth round and led by their inspirational captain of Elgar Dean, which is usually unbeatable for their success.
Even so, injury, they could not play with their victory formula on the ground where they had never lost to the opposition sub-continent in 13 tests.
Five previous visits India had produced three home wins and two draws.
“There is an area that we focus on (in the second test) and go to Cape Town, we have to get too much emphasized,” Elgar said.
“We have to be strict with our game plan, so we won’t change too much.
We have a relatively inexperienced squad and we know not everything will run.”
