Honestly, Klusener was just a different breed. Guy scoring a century at more than a run a ball back in '97 in a frickin test match 😂

[@sportsfantastic26]

This is why kusal perera's 153* is considered the greatest ever in history, had he not made that 153 there still would be no asian team to have won a series in SA

[@skking3379]

Unpopular opinion: 2011 was the best chance to win a test series in SA for India.They lost the first test poorly and made a great comeback in the second

[@AyushRaj-rt6bb]

Rohit Sharma is a very passive captain in Test cricket like Dhoni. We need a tactically astute and proactive captain. Even Rahul Dravid has failed miserably to provide tactical inputs to our team..

1992 - U know things are bad when you only have 3 pacers & 2 spinners on bouncy, swinging pitches

[@sayantanghatak24]

There are several reasons for it, some can be summarised as

[@MrLee-gj2jz]

Basically a distinction needs to be made between the Highveld grounds (Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Bloemfontein, Potchefstroom, and Benoni), versus the coastal grounds (Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, East London, and Paarl).

[@krodh9946]

From an Indian standpoint, this became obvious during last Ind-SA test series.

[@sagniksarkar1212]

Bro insults us Indians sweetly with statistics unlike others 🥰.🥰

[@bigjigyeah]

It sucks how this is only a two test series. Should be three tests minimum

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

To be fair, South Africa has an abundance of left-arm seamers all of a sudden. Burger and Jansen look unplayable.

[@legendkiller4481]

This is why virat is the greatest modern day batter, the guy scores everywhere and in every format with decent average.

[@MSU.]

TBH I have no idea how they didn't beat us this time around. Going into the test series Dean was literally the only one we could count on with the bat.

[@saffronpanda1735]

Atleast indian team in previous years fought and gave their best. But this time it is an embarrassing loss. Hope they make right changes to the playing 11.

[@indranigomes9874]

While it may seem like a fortress, just remember England won their last two tours here, with England's 2020 team being barely average at best (Burns, Crawley, Sibley, Denly, Buttler, Bess, Curran etc).

[@mk_annan22]

The last line, quoting Iron Maiden ❤

[@nishantgopinath9273]

@jarod: Have you noticed that Ashwin despite bowling economically @2.15 an over and taking a wicket has only bowled 19 overs at Centurion? This seems strange as Shardul and Prasidh went for 194 runs in 39 overs! In the past teams from Asia have used a spinner to block one end more due to lack of reliable seamers. It took many years to develop Umesh, Ishant and Shami to be consistent in SENA countries. The only exception has been Bumrah (took him just one bowling inning) and Siraj (you can see that he still needs some work). So shouldn’t India have gone with higher workload on Ashwin (35-40 overs) and rotated the new seamers (Shardul and Prasidh) in between the spells from experienced seamers?

[@amitsinghkapapa730]

The reason i think india didnt win in sa previously and this year is the same why india didn't won wtc . Watch out what happens in the first inning , even you can compare it with wc final.

[@presentsiwele8021]

India’s approach to the final frontier is not bad, just need few things to fall to place. Toss and performance. Perhaps leaving out a spinner completely where necessary. We have to appreciate that it is a mammoth task to win away from home and commend teams that sometimes do conquer frontiers 🙌🏾

[@misterdutta]

Jrod, why did you not even mention Donald's incredible 12 for 139 hall in their 1992 victory at Port Elizabeth? Bad miss. It was one of the most brutal bowling ever seen.
