India Men’s Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team: After wrapping up their tour of Australia, the Indian cricket team has reached Kolkata to begin preparations for the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa. A video shared by Star Sports on social media showed players including captain Shubman Gill, head coach Gautam Gambhir, Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy arriving at the Kolkata airport.
The first Test will take place at Eden Gardens from November 14 to 18. The team is expected to begin practice sessions soon ahead of the first Test.
This series marks Shubman Gill’s third Test assignment as India’s captain. The 26-year-old first led India in the five-match series against England, which ended in a 2-2 draw. He later guided India to a 2-0 home series win over the West Indies in October.
