After India’s white-ball tour of Australia, the focus immediately shifts to the multi-format home series against South Africa which starts at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 14. The Indian team will play two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is in more than a month.

The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati will play host to the second Test from November 22, followed by three ODIs in Ranchi, Raipur and Visakhapatnam. Cuttack, Mullanpur, Dharamshala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad will host the five T20Is matches.

As far as the Tests are concerned, the Indian team are coming into this series after whitewashing West Indies 2-0 at home recently. Previously, India drew against England in a five-match series on English soil. On the other hand, defending world Test champions are coming from Pakistan after drawing a two-match series 1-1.

The series will also see the return of South Africa captain Temba Bavuma, who makes a comeback after sustaining a calf injury during their World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 final against Australia at Lords in June. He had missed the Pakistan series and returned to action during South Africa A’s second unofficial Test against India A in Bengaluru last week.
