India will be gunning for their maiden Test series win in South Africa when the Virat Kohli-led side locks horns with the hosts in the Boxing Day match, starting from December 26 in Centurion.

India have never won a Test series in South Africa out of 7 attempts so far, but after recent successes in Australia and England are buoyed by their ability to compete on the road.

The prospect of making history as the first Indian touring side to win a series in South Africa is a tantalising one for the players.

Expectations will be high to say the least from Virat Kohli’s squad of champions, which has already conquered Australia, West Indies, Sri Lanka and England in red-ball cricket and South Africa remains their final frontier.
