SA vs IND Dream11 Predictions - 2nd Test 2021/22 | 3 Jan

The 2021 India tour of South Africa is on currently and we have the 2nd Test being played in the New Year with the visitors already leading the series 1-0. We’re talking about India who was clinical in the first game and after that 113-run victory, they’ll be looking to carry on the momentum into The Wanderers, where India have won two of their previous five Tests including two drawn games as well.

As for South Africa, they’ve won only 18 of their 42 Tests here at this ground and that’s a very low win percentage as compared to what they had at SuperSport Park where the 1st Test was played. The hosts are looking at a few team changes as well but they won’t be too disappointed with the first game as they fought till the end.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, India leads 5-0.
Kagiso Rabada – 24 wickets in just 5 Tests at this ground.
5 previous Tests here – India have never lost here.
Keshav Maharaj – wicketless in last 5 international games.

South Africa

With Quinton de Kock retiring from Test cricket, a spot opens up for the wicket-keeper of the side and Kyle Verreynne is set to take that place. While he’s performed in the ODI circuit, he’s yet to make a name in Tests but we think he’s a quality player worth adding to your SA vs IND fantasy team. Duanne Olivier missed the 1st Test because of Covid-19 but is fit and ready for selection which means he’s likely to replace Marco Jansen or Wiaan Mulder in the team.

With the ball, Keshav Maharaj was quite ineffective in the last game and we’re not sure if picking him in your SA vs IND Dream11 team for the 2nd Test makes any sense because he got no wickets and scored only 20 runs in 2 innings as well. It becomes tougher for him against Indians who are good against spin and we’d rather pick Lungi Ngidi in our team who has tormented India in SA in the past and did well in the 1st Test too.

India

Under the pump before this tour was Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane but both of them looked to play with an attacking mindset and the real person under the gun right now is Virat Kohli who only managed 53 runs in his two innings. Knowing what a fighter he is, he will be back strong but he really needs a long innings to save him now. India has Shreyas Iyer waiting on the bench but we feel they’ll go in unchanged.

KL Rahul is the most solid batter in the Indian lineup right now and knowing that he’ll be captaining the side in the ODIs here will help him as well. He scored heavily in the first game and is likely to continue, so pick him in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) SA vs IND fantasy team, maybe even as fantasy captain. Shardul Thakur wasn’t so effective last game but he’s playing an all-rounder role and can contribute better than how he did in Centurion.
