After beating Australia and England on their home soil, the Indian team under the captaincy of Virat Kohli will be looking to register their maiden Test series win against South Africa in their own backyard. The team has already commenced their preparations in full swing as seen in the videos released by BCCI. In the latest feature coming from South Africa, the backup Indian fast bowler, pacer Deepak Chahar can be seen enjoying the swinging conditions in Centurion, the venue for the opening Test.
Deepak Chahar shared the video on his official Twitter handle, in which he can be seen generating vicious swing through which he has been troubling the Indian batters, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, and Priyank Panchal can be seen struggling against the 29-year-old.

Deepak Chahar has been included in the Indian test squad as the backup bowler with the traveling squad. He has already established himself as one of India’s lethal weapons especially in the limited-overs squad and it will be interesting to see when the fast bowler gets a chance in the red-ball format. Apart from the 29-year-old, Navdeep Saini, Saurabh Kumar, and Arzan Nagwasalla are also present in South Africa as standby players.
