Virat Kohli and the Indian team will start their all-important overseas tours after having a successful long home season. The men in blues flew to South Africa to play matches all across the formats which will test the mettle of this Indian team.

Kohli led Indian side is unbeaten for quite some time now, but they have most of the matches at home conditions. However, they will be tested in the challenging conditions where the ball will swing and bounce more.

Many of the legends were of the opinion that this side has the capability to overturn their fortunes in South Africa. Notably, India has never won a series in South Africa so far.

Indian skipper Kohli will also return after taking a short break from international cricket. Kohli’s captaincy will also be tested for the first time when he pushed into challenging situations. However, it is well known that Virat likes to take up challenges.
