The Indian team will play three Tests, six One-Day Internationals (ODI) and three Twenty20 Internationals against South Africa with the first Test beginning on January 5 in Cape Town.
We as a team are feeling very confident, in terms of the balance the side has and the kind of cricket we’ve been playing. Of course, we haven’t played in (overseas) conditions, apart from the ICC Champions Trophy (in England). Every tour is a chance,” Kohli said while addressing the press on Wednesday eveningIf you look at the teams which have gone to South Africa in the past, you are talking about some of the biggest names in Indian cricket. It’s not like that was not a chance; you need to play really good cricket for a very long period of time to win series and that is something we are pretty excited about. We want to go out there and express ourselves. The most important thing is we are enjoying each other’s company and that’s exactly what we are looking to do.Kohli had missed India’s limited-overs series against Sri Lanka due to his marriage to the Bollywood star. “I was away for something which is much more important. That is a period that will always remain special for both of us. Switching back to cricket is not difficult at all because it is in my blood, like it is for every other team member and the team management as well.”
