NEW DELHI: Ahead of the opening Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion, Indian captain Rohit Sharma highlighted the absence of veteran pacer Mohammed Shami as a significant setback for the team during the series. He emphasised the pivotal role that each bowler, including the spinners, will play on the bouncy South African surfaces that favour seamers.
Following a drawn T20I series (1-1) and a victorious ODI series (2-1), India are determined to secure their maiden Test series triumph in South Africa.
