The India A vs South Africa A 1st Test gets underway in Bengaluru on Thursday, and it is fair to say, that this will be a curtain-raiser to the IND vs SA series, that follows after this. This would serve as a great practice for Rishabh Pant, who has been out of action for three months now, who suffered an injury in the fourth Test in England.
Also in focus would be the likes of Sai Sudharsan, N Jagadeesan and Devdutt Padikkal, who should be in the squad for the South Africa series. On the other hand, it is also an opportunity for fringe players to make a mark.
