The first Test match between the two teams in the final leg of India’s 2023–24 tour of South Africa will take place on December 26 at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. The longest format of the game is currently in the spotlight, as South Africa and India have already engaged in some thrilling matches.
India was tied in the T20I series when they started their tour of South Africa, but they won the 50-over series 2-1 in the conclusion. Yet, India has not yet prevailed in a Rainbow Nation Test series. A drawn series from their 2010–11 tour to South Africa is still their greatest achievement. India had a 1-0 series lead but ultimately lost 2-1 during the 2021/22 tour.
