After beating Australia and England on their home soil, Virat Kohli-led Team India will look to secure their maiden Test series win against South Africa in their own backyard. The team have begun their preparation in full swing as seen in the videos released by BCCI.
In the latest feature coming from South Africa, pacer Deepak Chahar can be seen enjoying the seaming conditions in Centurion, the venue for the opening Test. Chahar shared the video on Twitter, in which he can be seen generating vicious swing as India batters Wriddhiman Saha and Priyank Panchal can be seen struggling against the 29-year-old.
Chahar is not part of India's Test squad but is traveling with the team as a standby bowler. The 29-year-old has already established himself as one of India's lethal weapon especially in the shorter format and it will be interesting to see when the pacer gets a chance in the red-ball format.
