The Indian team does not have Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the Test series, who have been left due to fitness issues. They have been replaced by some other players. IND vs SA Test series 2021 is a perfect opportunity for some players to showcase their worth to the selectors.

Shreyas Iyer was recently given a chance to debut in Tests. He made his Test debut during India’s previous Test series against New Zealand last month. Smashing a century and a half-century in his debut Test, Iyer showed a lot of commitment in his batting. If he showcases a similar performance in the IND vs SA Test series, he can definitely become a regular middle-order batsman for India in the Test format.

Hanuma Vihari used to be a regular member of the Indian Test team. However, with the arrival of some youngsters and their fabulous performances in Tests this year, Vihari was rested for many Tests. He last played a Test match against Australia in January this year. Now he has again got an opportunity to showcase his batting skills. If Hanuma Vihari slams good knocks against South Africa, he will definitely prove that he is still a crucial batsman for India in Tests.

Rishabh Pant is the wicketkeeper in the India squad along with Wriddhiman Saha in the series. Although Pant has managed to bag a permanent spot as a wicketkeeper in the limited-overs format, he still faces competition with Wriddhiman Saha for the Test wicketkeeper’s spot. If Pant impresses with his batting performance in the IND vs SA 2021 series, he can bag a regular place as wicket-keeper in the longer format as well.
