IND vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
We are in the 1st game of the two-match Test series. Hosts India will look to take an early lead as they take on South Africa at Eden Gardens. The Indians demolished the West Indies 2-0 in the last home series, and the team will draw inspiration from those victories. The South Africans drew their last series against Pakistan 1-1, but they will face a stiffer challenge in this series.
The Indians have a good record against the South Africans at home. They have won the last seven out of eight games and drawn the other one. The batting lineup has been in excellent form this year, and the team will draw inspiration from that. The South Africans have struggled in India and haven't had much to celebrate in the last 15 years. It will be interesting to see if the team can cause an upset in this game.

TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
Shubman Gill has done well so far in his captaincy stint. After levelling the series in England, the team won the last series against the West Indies 2-0. The South Africans will pose a tougher challenge for the Indians than the West Indies did. However, the side has enjoyed a good record against the South Africans at home, and Gill would look to extend that with a good performance in this game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul make a formidable opening pair, and the team expects a steady start from them. Shubman Gill is the leading run-getter this year, and he will look to build partnerships with Dhruv Jurel and Rishabh Pant in the middle order. The side has depth in the batting, and they will expect runs from Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Axar Patel.
The bowling attack has done well in these conditions. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj will look to inflict early wounds on the South Africans. Kuldeep Yadav will enjoy bowling in these conditions and look to do well in the middle, along with Ravindra Jadeja. Washington Sundar and Axar Patel add variety to this attack, making it strong.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Shubman Gill (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
India Actual Playing XI:
Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Lokesh Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
South Africa Preview
Temba Bavuma is back as skipper after missing the tour of Pakistan due to an injury. It will be a tough game for the team, as the Indians are extremely hard to beat in these conditions. Bavuma would like to see a strong show from his batters, as the conditions don't suit them. He would look to take a cue from New Zealand's playbook, as the Kiwis humbled the Indians last year.
Ryan Rickelton has played well in recent games, and the team expects a good start from him and the experienced Aiden Markram. Temba Bavuma must lead from the front and anchor the innings in the middle order with Tony de Zorzi and Wiaan Mulder. The side will expect a good show in the lower middle order from Kyle Verreynne, Tristan Stubbs, and Senuran Muthusamy.
The South African bowlers will face a tough test in these conditions. Kagiso Rabada and Wiaan Mulder must strike early in this game to put the team in a strong position. Keshav Maharaj and Senuran Muthusamy are the key bowlers in these conditions, and they must trouble the Indians. Simon Harmer will look to do well in the supporting role.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Wiaan Mulder, Kyle Verreynne (wk), Senuran Muthusamy, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Ryan Rickelton, Simon Harmer
South Africa Actual Playing XI:
Temba Bavuma, Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne, Corbin Bosch, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, Simon Harmer, Keshav Maharaj
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The skies will be clear over Kolkata, and we expect good weather throughout the five days of the game. Batsmen will enjoy batting on this surface as the ball will come onto the bat nicely. We expect a rank turner where the spinners will have a great time. The average first-inning score at this venue is 289 runs, and the side batting first will be like 400 on the board.
IND vs RSA Pitch Report
Eden Gardens, Kolkata, has deep boundaries and a flat surface, which evens out the contest between bat and ball. The wicket is flat, allowing batsmen to play on the up. Fast bowlers have to use their variations to do well. Spinners enjoy a good record at this venue as the ball turns sharply.
Toss: To Bat
In Indian conditions, most teams prefer to bat first on these tracks. Chasing the score in the 4th innings won't be easy as the ball turns sharply. The side winning the toss would look to play it safe by batting first and posting a big total.
IND vs RSA
Winning Prediction
The South Africans have done well in the last six months, but the team will face its biggest challenge in this series. Their record on Indian soil has been poor in the last 15 years. They need to bat well and survive the Indian spin attack to win. The Indians have their batting lineup in excellent form and a strong spin attack. Based on the record and the team strengths, the Indians will start as favorites in this game.
