The Indian team chased history in the second Test in Johannesburg. India has yet to win the Test Series in South Africa, and the Rangers are expected to achieve exciting results in the second test. South Africa ended the third day with 118/2 in 240 matches. The goal of the Indian Pacers is to take advantage of the deteriorating stadium conditions during the opening hours of the 4th day if the Rain God shows mercy to both teams.
The weather forecast for the 4th day does not look as promising as the previous three days, and it is expected that it will rain throughout the day. Although the first hour of the day may proceed smoothly from the perspective of the weather god, rain is expected to hinder most of the rest of the day.
This is a positive sign for the hosts, because they can choose a big wheel before the game of the day, which will suppress the apparent extra bounce in the opening time.
Earlier, India scored 266 points in the second game of Day 3 and set a goal of 240 points for South Africa to win in Johannesburg. After a brisk start, Aiden Markram lost to Shadur Thakur with a score of 31, and then Ravi Chandran Ashwin removed Keegan Peterson in the final stage of the day.
Although the South African team completed Day 3 with strong results, India will hope to draw inspiration from their last Test victory in Johannesburg three years ago when the team led by Virat Kohli made a comeback from a similar position.
