While the Rohit Sharma-led Team India lost the first of the two-match Test series by an inning and 32 runs in Centurion, the visitors will be looking to bounce back as they take on the Proteas Men in the final Test, starting January 3rd at the Newlands in Cape Town.
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have been the two stand out players for the visitors in the first Test as the former played a centurion knock to help put 245 runs on the board in the Indian first innings, Virat Kohli was the lone warrior in the second innings for India, with his 76 off 82 balls. However, the latter has been toiling hard in the nets ahead of the final Test.
In a video going viral, Virat Kohli can be seen hitting Indian all-rounder R Ashwin for massive six in the net sessions. Apart from that, the former India skipper can also be seen negotiating with a local net bowler, a left-arm pacer to be precise.

For the Proteas, apart from their pace sensation Kagiso Rabada, debutant Nandre Burger has been a bonus addition to the side. While Kohli was a victim of Rabada in both the innings in the opening Test, Nandre Burger dismissed in-form batter KL Rahul in both innings.
