Like many cricket fans, former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also expects Team India's Test captain Virat Kohli to play a brilliant inning in Cape Town. He expressed hope that Virat can score his 71st century in the next Test match. Harbhajan also talked about Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane on his YouTube channel and said that they should convert their starts into big innings.
The third and deciding Test (IND vs SA 3rd Test) of the series between India and South Africa is to be played in Cape Town from January 11. Harbhajan Singh said that India should go with 2 spinners in this match because Cape Town's pitch proves to be beneficial for spinners. He also predicted that the Indian team can beat South Africa if the batsmen manage to score 350-400 runs on the board.
Harbhajan said, 'Virat Kohli will return in this Test. I hope his century drought will end in this match. It's been a long time since we've seen his bat score a century. It is expected that with him Pujara, Rahane, and other senior players will once again show their wonders. They (Rahane and Pujara) scored half-centuries in the last match but I would expect them to convert it into hundreds.
Virat Kohli last scored a Test century in November-2019 and an ODI century in August 2019. Kohli scored 4 half-centuries since then but failed to convert them into centuries. Kohli played only 3 ODIs last year and could only score 129 runs. He scored 2 half-centuries in 2021.
He further said, 'When we get 350-400 runs and if we have 2 spinners, which I am assuming because they should, then India can completely dominate. KL Rahul is in good form, Mayank is starting well but is unable to convert him into big innings. I hope India will play well.
