IND vs SA: South Africa’s woes, who have already surrendered the series by 2-0, doesn’t look to end in the near future. While they already suffered the loss of lead spinner Keshav Maharaj to an injury, the opening batsman Aiden Markram has also been ruled out of the Ranchi Test.
The visiting side is still not able to collect what’s missing out? Is it the batting? Is it bowling? Or is it the toss? Proteas skipper Faf Du Plessis has lost nine tosses in a row in the subcontinent and there are chances that he might not turn up at the toss tomorrow at Ranchi.
