India vs SA : Virat Kohli led Team India lands in South Africa ahead of the Test Series
Xtra Time Web Desk : Virat Kohli led Team India landed in Johannesburg on Thursday evening ahead of their much anticipated Test Series against South Africa that is to be played from 26th December at Centurion.
"Touchdown South Africa," the BCCI tweeted from its official Twitter handle along with pictures of team members, including Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara, Shardul Thakur and Shreyas Iyer among others.
The Kohli-led Test side had departed from Mumbai for the tour that includes three Tests followed by as many ODIs.
Star opener and newly-appointed white ball captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the Test series against South Africa after sustaining a left hamstring injury during a training session in Mumbai. He was replaced by talented Gujarat opener Priyank Panchal.
While the series opener will be hosted by Centurion, the other two Tests will be played at Johannesburg and Cape Town respectively.
