Rohit Sharma will be leading the Indian side in the Test series. Star players Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravichandran Ashwin are also back in the squad.

However, a lot of changes have been made to the squad, with Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of the Test. Kishan withdrew his name, citing personal reasons, and was replaced by KS Bharat. Gaikwad had suffered a finger injury in the second ODI and had thus been ruled out. He was replaced by 28-year-old Abhimanyu Easwaran, who was earlier named the captain of India 'A' Test side, which will face South Africa 'A' Test side on Tuesday.

South Africa also looks like a force to be reckoned with. It has Temba Bavuma back in the squad as captain and also has Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi, and Kagiso Rabada in its bowling department. It is anticipated to be a great game of cricket as it will start on traditional Boxing Day, which holds a lot of significance in South Africa.
