“Ideally, Virat should have left playing ODIs & continued playing test cricket until he had nothing to give. Test cricket misses him. Not just as a player but just the energy he brought, the love & passion for playing for India, where he made the team believe that they can win in any condition.”
These comments stated the growing frustration among the former players and even Indian fans around test cricket. South Africa hasn’t won a test series in India since 2000, and now there are high chances that the Temba Bavuma-led team can win the second test easily. This win will make history for the South African cricket team.
