IND vs SA: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India will play a two-match Test series from December 26. The Indian team has not yet won a single Test series on South African soil. In South Africa, the Indian team was on the verge of winning the series several times, but missed it every time. India had a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in 2021/22, but they squandered it and lost the series 2-1. Now even before the test series against South Africa, coach Dravid has said a big thing.Coach Rahul Dravid gave this statementRahul Dravid said that we have been touring South Africa since 1992 and we have played really good cricket here too. We have won Test matches here, played some draws. But we have not been able to win any series here yet. There were one or two Tests where we thought we had a chance to win, but we could not do so. With this series being very short, there will be very little time to bounce back if we don't start the series well. Since this series is of only two matches, India can make no mistake in its desire to win in Test cricket.Dravid said that we will try to do very well in the entire series. Although we have done well in some parts in the past. This gives us some confidence that we can win and play good cricket in such conditions. Will try to play well in both the tests and hopefully win the series.This way you can win test matchesThe Indian team will play the Test match after five months. Coach Rahul Dravid said that we have seen that there is a lot of bounce and seam movement, which makes it a bit difficult to bat. In the match, if you do not perform well in a session then you fall behind in the match. Like six-seven wickets should not fall in a session and someone has to fight back and try to build a partnership. But in South Africa you need 50-60 extra runs with the bat and people who bat well despite falling wickets continuously. He will have a big contribution in winning the match.
