Bharat has managed to notch up mere 92 runs in four innings in the ongoing series and is yet to register a fifty in 12 Test innings of his career.
Pujara has scored 20,013 runs at an average of 51.98 in 260 first-class matches. In this format, he has tallied 61 hundreds and 78 fifties; his highest score is 352.
Heaping praises on explosive southpaw Rinku Singh’s finishing skills, India head coach Rahul Dravid said that performances in the series against Afghanistan and the IPL will determine the players’ selection in the T20I World Cup squad.
India's first assignment under Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the India national cricket team will be against South Africa in an all-format tour starting December 20 following the ongoing Australia tour of India.
He added that the Indian team is lacking their trademark fighting spirit in the match and letting their guard down when conditions are not favourable for them.
Kuldeep picked up 21 wickets for his new franchise Delhi Capitals in IPL 2022 after Kolkata Knight Riders released him ahead of the mega auction and was adjudged Player of the Match four times.
All this drama comes just before the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, which are slated to be held later this year.
Dravid had been team-mates with Warne when the duo turned out for the Rajasthan Royals in 2011 IPL after facing off against each other while playing international cricket for India and Australia respectively.
Dravid felt confident about the fast-bowling attack doing well in the South African conditions.
