The ICC World Test Championship series between the Indian cricket team and the South African cricket team is in the history books now. It was Virat Kohli’s last series as Indian captain. Now the action shifts to the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series between the two countries, where KL Rahul will captain the visitors.
Earlier this month, Rahul made his international captaincy debut when Kohli suffered a back spasm and could not play in the second match of the ICC World Test Championship series against the South African cricket team. The Indian cricket team lost that match, but now Rahul will be keen to record his maiden international win as Indian captain when he leads the country in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series against the South African cricket team.
The three-match ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series between the Indian cricket team and the South African cricket team will start on Wednesday afternoon at the Boland Park in Paarl. The visitors have reached the venue for the match ahead of the opening game of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series.
Like all the series in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, each match will carry 10 points. The winner will earn 10 points, whereas if it is a no result, both teams will share five points each.
BCCI posted photos of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul from Boland Park
As mentioned ahead, the Indian cricket team has reached the venue for the next ODI and the BCCI uploaded a few pictures from the practice session. The eagle-eyed fans noticed how Kohli was in the huddle as a player, while Rahul addressed the team.
Here’s how Twitterati reacted to the change in the Indian team.
