The Indian cricket team got down to business within 24 hours of arriving in Cape Town on Thursday. The Virat Kohli-led team spent a lot of time training ahead of the first Test vs South Africa from January 5, 2018. India have won nine consecutive series in the longest format, establishing themselves as the top-ranked team in the world. They have proved to be a cut above their rivals in home conditions, but face the prospect of bigger challenges in a three-match series against the Proteas, before heading to England later in 2018.
