IND Vs SA Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Match Day 1: South Africa Win Toss, India To Bowl First

South Africa (Playing XI): Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Wiaan Mulder, Temba Bavuma(c), Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne(w), Simon Harmer, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Shubman Gill: It looks like a good surface with something early on for the fast bowlers. The dressing room feels great, this group is hungry, and this series is hugely important for us. We expect some turn as the game progresses. Rishabh comes in for Reddy, and Axar returns to the XI.

Temba Bavuma: We’ll bat first. The boys have come back well from Pakistan, and our preparation has been as solid as possible. We’re up for the challenge and need to stick to our strengths. The pitch looks dry, so first-innings runs will be crucial. Kagiso misses out, and Corbin comes in.

South Africa have won the toss and have opted to bat first against India.

India: Ryan ten Doeschate believes Dhruv Jurel is simply unstoppable in his current form, even with Rishabh Pant returning. As a result, India have put their seam-bowling all-rounder experiment on hold, releasing Nitish Reddy from the first Test squad and moving him to the India A side for the unofficial ODIs until November 19. Pant will slot back into the XI.

South Africa: Fresh off their success in Rawalpindi, South Africa arrive in India buzzing at the prospect of leaning into their spin options. Back at the helm after missing the Pakistan tour, WTC-winning captain Temba Bavuma isn’t giving anything away yet.
