India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test: India captain Rohit Sharma and South Africa's Dean Elgar

The less we talk about the Boxing Day Test in Centurion, the better it is, of course from Team India's perspective. It was a complete disaster in every sense. Big defeats in overseas Tests are nothing new, almost all teams faced the same situation on foreign soil at every stage of the game.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has backed pacer Prasidh Krishna to deliver the goods for the visitors in the longest format. The Indian pacer leaked 93 runs in 20 overs on debut for Rohit's men against South Africa. India lost the Centurion Test by an innings and 32 runs."We had a brief chat with management as to what we want from this game from bowlers, we haven’t exactly finalized our eleven, but all our players are fit and available. We will sit down and decide," Rohit said when he was asked about India adding Mukesh Kumar to its playing XI.

"Having said that I know we have a little bit of inexperience in bowling and when that happens, you got to show trust in them. That can happen with any team. Post last match, I said about Prasidh playing his first game. We all get nervous when you are playing your first game. It's understandable. But I'll still back that thought of mine, that he's got good ability to succeed at this level and especially in this format. So it's just about showing faith and trust in everyone and getting the job done from them," Sharma added.

I feel, our team should be cautious while selecting the playing 11.

Can Rohit and Co. level series in Newlands with India back to full strength?

India missed the services of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has regained full fitness for the 2nd Test match against South Africa. Jadeja missed the 1st Test with back spasms. Under the leadership of skipper Rohit Sharma, visitors India are hoping to level the two-match series 1-1 in the second Test at Newlands today.

ā€œAlthough we've had a brief chat with the management and the coaching staff about what we want from this game, and what we want from the bowlers, we've not completely finalised our playing XI," captain Rohit told reporters ahead of the 2nd Test. "Everyone is available for selection. There are no injury concerns. We will sit down in the evening and decide what is the right one," he added.

Dean Elgar only cares about winning Test matches for the Proteas. The senior batter is set to retire from the Test format after the India series. He is one of only eight South African players to have scored more than 5000 runs in the longest and oldest format of the game. Speaking ahead of the second and final Test of the bilateral series, the stand-in South African skipper said he hopes to sign off with a 2-0 win over Rohit Sharma’s men.

ā€œI only play the game to win. I don't care about stats. I care about wins. I care about series wins. That's the greatest memories you can ever share with your team, everyone that has got an influential role in the background. Test series wins - you don't top that. Maybe a World Cup win is up there. I have never had that opportunity but this is my World Cup. This is my arena where I want to win,ā€ Elgar said on the eve of the 2nd Test match.

Thanks for the tag .šŸ’™

I know they won't pick Ashwin.smiley28

But I wish they do.

His economy was around 2 in the previous match and he took a wicket. He would have got 2 more wickets if not for the dropped catches.

Economy rate of bowler is also very important to restrict the opponents to a lower score.
