IND VS SA LIVE: Harbhajan Singh predicts winner – Despite starting as the favourites, Virat Kohli & Co go into the 3rd Test with the series on the line at 1-1.

India won the first Test match in Centurion while the Proteas clawed their way back in the second Test at Johannesburg to level the series. What goes against Team India is South Africa’s winning momentum. Under KL Rahul’s captaincy, India lost the match by 7 wickets. But Harbhajan believes India can bank on the pace attack and win the match.

“When we toured or any other team toured we never had the luxury of four fast bowlers to bowl at 145 on those pitches and now Team India is full of fast bowlers. Had India had those sort of bowlers earlier, then India would have achieved this feat much earlier than now. I think overall Team India in Cape Town will be on top of their game and they will win the series there and that is what I feel,” Harbhajan Singh said.

According to the Indian cricketing legend Harbhajan Singh the current South African team is a pale shadow of their past teams. The wily off-spinner bowled to the likes of Gary Kirsten, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Mark Boucher etc.
“South Africa those days were a very different team and very strong team and honestly with this South African team with all due respect I don’t think they have it in them to beat India. The Indian team is way too strong for South Africa because the quality of batting in the South African team is not there,” Harbhajan Singh added.

India are yet to win a Test series on South African soil. In 2010 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captaincy, they came close to winning the series but ended up drawing it at 1-1. The Test match in Cape Town will be a chance for India to win their maiden series in the ‘Rainbow Nation’.
