Team India will aim for early dominance as they begin a two-match Test series against reigning WTC champions South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Friday. The first Test will mark the return of Rishabh Pant to international cricket after fracturing his foot in July this year.
South Africa will also be boosted by the return of regular skipper Temba Bavuma and will be on a high after drawing the Test series in Pakistan recently.
