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.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
