IND vs SA 2nd Test: Why Wanderers is Team India’s fortress away from home?

After their unforgettable Centurion victory last week, their first victory on the field, the Indian team now has a historic date in the New Year’s Test, as Virat Kohli’s man will strive to be the first to win in the Rainbow Nation The Indian team in the test series. They played against South Africa, but to make the troubled home team worse, Dean Elgar’s men will defend the series in the “Bull Ring” fortress, which was once a fortress away from home in India.

Three of India’s four centuries were achieved in their first tour of South Africa-Sachin Tendulkar scored 111 in 1992, Kohli scored 119 in the country’s first game in 2013, and pulled in in 1997. Rahul Dravid made a sensation and scored 148. The venue also witnessed the spell of India’s best eight away game pitchers-from Anil Khumble’s 6 games in 1992 to Sreesanth’s unforgettable 5 shots of 40 points in 2006. It is here that the foundation of arguably the greatest Indian team laid the heroic victory on the Devil Circuit, provided by Jasprit Bumrah and five wickets with Mohamed Shami.

India has never lost a test in the Rangers. They played five games at the venue and won two victories-123 in 2006 and 63 in 2018-while the other three games ended in a tie. India has conducted five or more tests in 19 venues outside of Asia, and the Rangers are still the only team yet to lose. The closest to this record is Georgetown in the West Indies, where India has conducted six tests, all of which ended in a tie. However, India has not competed at this venue since 2002. Next is the Garden of Eden in New Zealand, where India participated in the same number of tests, losing once and winning twice.
