INDvSA Tests | Rivalry reignited: Up next, Cracking Protea challenge
It's time for another cricketing blockbuster!
The Indian cricket team is all set to host South Africa in an all-format tour featuring two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is beginning November 14 at the Eden Gardens. 🙌
If history’s anything to go by, this series promises thrillers after thrillers after thrillers!
Over the years, India vs South Africa clashes have been the stuff of cricketing legend - fierce contests, breathtaking finishes & enough edge-of-the-seat moments to keep fans hooked till the very end. Whether it’s the traditional red-ball grind or the white-ball fireworks, these two heavyweights never fail to turn up the heat. 🔥
To name a few from a massive checklist of memories… Sehwag & Yuvraj’s heroics in 2002 Champions Trophy semis, the 2006 Johannesburg heist to register the first Test win on South African soil, Sehwag’s triple century at Chepauk in 2007, Tendulkar’s classic 200* off 147 at Gwalior in 2010 to become the first male cricketer to record a double hundred in ODIs and Surya’s “long off, long off…” moment to clinch the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. Ah, feeling nostalgic already, eh?! 🥹
Sure, the Proteas might hold the upper hand in Tests and ODIs, but when it comes to the shortest format, the reigning world champions rule the show.
