India’s Test Captain Kohli Expected to Return for Final Test
India’s Test captain Virat, who is expected to return for the final Test in Cape Town, missed the second Johannesburg Test with a back spasm, should come back to determine the series in a 1-1 draw in Cape Town.
He Is Fielding :-
“Virat was felt better than ever. he has been in the nets for the last few days. And he is fielding and running on the fielding.” stand-in captain KL Rahul said after India’s seven-wicket loss on the fourth day. “I think he should be fine.”

Later in the press conference, head coach Rahul Dravid also said similarly, Dravid said, ‘He should be fine by all means. “He’s got a chance to run around a little bit.
Got a chance to test him a bit, I’ll just be down in the nets with some throwdowns and stuff at the moment, so hopefully, with a few nets conventions in Cape Town, he should be good to go.
“I haven’t had huge discussions with the physio yet, but from what I’ve been hearing and chatting with him, he’s really making amends and should be good to go in four days’ time.”
If Kohli comes back, it could mean that Hanuma Vihari, charged with an unbeaten 40 in India’s second innings, could return to the bench. India continued to allow their senior batsmen.
The likes of Hanuma and Shreyas Iyer – who scoring a Test century on arrival in November but we’re out of action with a stomach bug in Johannesburg – had to squander their time for opportunities to play.
The Pari’s Cooperation was Also Mentioned :-
He also referred to his first innings supporting. When he made a sliding start before being caught at short leg by a sharp lifter. But added that young players always have to wait for their turn in international cricket.
“First of all I think Vihari played really well in both the innings in this Test match,” Dravid said. “I think he got a bad one in the first innings, unfortunately for him, it popped up and the fielder grabbed his fingers and took a really good catch, and he batted beautifully in the second innings, giving us a lot Get something of confidence.
“Shreyas was doing the same in two or three Test matches, he was scoring runs too. And I think he should take heart from the fact that whenever he gets a chance he is doing well. And hopefully That is the time you look back at some of our people. Who are now considering senior players? Also had to wait their time.
“He also had to score a lot of runs, early in his career, it’s probably been a bit of a stop-start as well. So it happens. It’s just the nature of the game, it’s the nature of the game, and it will happen, so I guess That they can take heart [from his performance] and the way Hanuma batted in this game.
A Definitely Gives Self-Confidence :-
We can take a lot of subjectivity from him, he played really well, which should give him a lot of subjectivity, and it certainly gives us a lot of subjectivity.”
Ahead of the third Test, there is a question marking on fast bowler Mohammad Siraj. He lost the Test due to a hamstring strain and could bowl only 15.5 overs out of 147.2 overs sent by India. “Mohammed Siraj, we will have to keep an eye on him in the next few days,” Rahul said.

“He’s getting a lot of experience with each day. He starting to get more and more self-indulgent. With his bowling, especially with what happened to his hamstrings on the fielding. It’s not easy to come back and go 100% straight Is.”
India has the backup of experienced Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav for the match starting on January 11 in the absence of Mohammad Siraj.
