India are currently trailing South Africa in the three-Test series 1-0. The first Test held in Cape Town ended in a 72-run defeat for the visitors. It is the first Test tour of South Africa that India have undertaken since 2013/14 and seen as the first real Test of the Indian team since Virat Kohli took over as Indian captain in all three formats of the game. India are currently the no.1 ranked side in Test cricket that came out of a highly succesfull run of home matches in which they trumped Australia, England, Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh at home. They also beat Sri Lanka away from home before proceeding to beat them in India too.
