India would look to level the two-match series when Rohit Sharma-led side locks horns with South Africa in the second Test at Newlands Stadium in Cape Town, today. The match will start at 1.30 pm IST. South Africa are leading the series 1-0 after winning the first Test comprehensively.
India is expected to make at least one change in their Playing 11, bringing in Ravindra Jadeja for R Ashwin, who has a lacklustre outing in
the Centurion Test. Mukesh Kumar might replace Prasidh Krishna in India's Playing 11.
Moreover, this match is vital in the race to reach the final of the 2023-25 World Test Championship. Both teams are hot favorites to make the summit clash, which will take place in June 2025 at Lord's, and the result of this game will make a big difference to the points table.
