Team India is preparing really hard in order to take on South Africa in the first Test starting on Friday. They were forced to practice indoors due to rains but the players were still seen sweating it out as Virat Kohli prepares for the biggest challenge in his captaincy so far.

Rohit Sharma gave some excerpts of how Indians are preparing for the challenge as the video posted by bcci.tv showed. In the video, he said, “You can see in net no 1 there is Ajinkya Rahane, net no 2 has (KL) Rahul and net no 3 has Virat (Kohli).”

He then points out the coaching staff who are helping out the batsmen. Fielding coach R Sridhar was at the bowling machine for Rahane while throw-down specialist Raghu was with KL Rahul.

Virat was supported by batting coach Sanjay Bangar and head coach Ravi Shastri. On the sidelines, Murali Vijay was in gear speaking with Bharat Arun.

India’s first match will be played in Cape Town and will be followed by two more Tests to be played in Centurion and Johannesburg respectively. This will be followed by a six-match ODI series. The tour ends with a three-match T20 series.
