South Africa vs India, 3rd Test Predicted Playing XIs: While Dean Elgar's men are unlikely to change a winning combination, India will have to make place for returning Virat Kohli and find a replacement for injured Mohammed Siraj.
India have a mini selection headache as they prepare to begin their bid to win a historic Test series in South Africa. India take on the hosts in the 3rd and final Test in Cape Town from January 11 with the series perfectly poised at 1-1.
India captain Virat Kohli, speaking to the press on the eve of the 3rd Test, confirmed that he is "absolutely fit" to take the field at the Newlands and lead the team after missing the 2nd Test in Johannesburg due to a back spasm. However, the skipper confirmed that Mohammed Siraj will miss the series finale due to a hamstring injury.
