How To Top 5 Article what will the new faces of South Africa can do to defend the dominating men in BLUES ?

It's been six months since South Africa played their last Test, in a series that was designed to kick-start their renaissance in the longest format. Under a new captain DEAN ELGAR and with no one remaining from the squad that lifted the Test mace in 2012, South Africa took the first steps on their new journey with a 2-0 win over West Indies, a solid start that they have the opportunity to build Whereas men in blue team INDIA showed dominance against AUSTRALIA and ENGLAND at their home with respective series win's and eagerly waiting to "hunt their first series win in tests" at SOUTH AFRICA under the new head coach RAHUL DRAVID. This summer is crucial to South Africa's hopes of faring better in the second World Test Championship cycle than the first, where they finished fifth. Considering the calamitous two years South African cricket had between 2019 and 2021 both on and off the field, that final position may even flatter them, but it still sits uncomfortably. This is a country with a history of going nine years unbeaten on the road and who still managed to establish some fortresses at home. With a fierce attack and a mostly reliable, if not always exciting, batting line-up, South Africa's best quality was that they used to be very, very tough to beat, and they want to get that back. So far there have been several reasons why that hasn't been allowed to happen. A second factor that has stood in South Africa's way of developing has been the regularity of big-name retirements. Since Mark Boucher's in 2012, they have lost an icon player almost every year: Jacques Kallis in 2013, Graeme Smith in 2014, Alviro Petersen in 2015, Kyle Abbott in 2017, and JP Duminy; Morne Morkel and AB de Villiers in 2018; Duanne Olivier in 2019 and Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn; Vernon Philander in 2020, and Faf du Plessis in 2021.where team INDIA has an good bench strength under the captain of VIRAT KHOLI with the shinning youngster's on the squad Let's start at the top, where captain Elgar with partner Aiden Markram, who scored a career-defining century in Pakistan to shut out most other competitors for the spot. Sarel Erwee is in the squad as back-up. Keegan Petersen, who debuted in West Indies and scored 44 runs in three innings, should be given the summer to establish himself with the support and experience of Rassie van der Dussen one below him. Petersen will be looking over his shoulder, though, because in-form Ryan Rickleton, who also bats in the top order for his domestic team and has scored two centuries in his last three first-class games, has been included in this squad.South Africa will welcome back vice-captain Temba Bavuma - he sat out the West Indies Tests with an injury - at the expense of Kyle Verreynne. But Verreynne won't be out for long. With Quinton de Kock set to miss at least one Test, but probably two, following the birth of his first child, Verreynne will be brought into the XI to bat in the lower middle order and keep wicket. let's see whether the PORTEAS defend dominance of men in blue team INDIA at their home.
