Cheteshwar Pujara backs Indian seamers for first series win in South Africa

India is gearing up for a Test Series against South Africa after being fresh from a home victory over New Zealand. South Africa hasn't played red-ball cricket since June, and the first Test begins on December 26 in Pretoria. Cheteshwar Pujara believes this is India's best shot at winning their maiden Test series. He predicted that India's fast bowlers would be at the edge on the visit, and hopes they take 20 wickets in every Test. 

Another factor in India's favor is the fact that several of their players have recently played red-ball cricket. Following the advent of Omicron, the newest Covid-19 version, the series will be conducted in a biosecure setting. Meanwhile, after Rohit Sharma was ruled out with a hamstring injury, the BCCI has appointed KL Rahul as India's vice-captain for the Test series.
