India have decided to go with four spinners in their XI – with Kuldeep set to spearhead the attack. Other spinners include Axar, Jadeja and Sundar. Gill has also decided to go with just two pacers for the IND vs SA 1st Test which means once again Bumrah and Siraj will have to put in the hard yards.
Jurel, who has been sensational off late with the bat, has made it to the playing XI and will play alongside Pant. Meanwhile, Sundar has surprisingly been slotted to bat at number 3 – a position that was previouslu occupied by Sudharsan.
