There is no chance for Team India to win or draw the test series.Its a very cruel truth but it is fact. There are 10 reasons why India can't win or draw the test series in South Africa.
No.1.
India don't have bowling attack to pick up 20 wickets. Return of Zaheer Khan will not going to help because there is nobody to support him from other end and most important thing is that Zaheer Khan is returning after an injury. Sreesanth and Ishant Sharma along with Harbhajan Singh were disappointing in first test match so there is no expectations from them.
No.2.
Indian Captain M.S Dhoni is unlucky with the toss and he lost the toss 12 times in 13 test matches and became second captain after Lala Amarnath to lose 8 tosses consecutively.
No.3.
South Africa will prepare pitches which will favour their style of play and Proteas looks better prepared then Team India in this series and they have done home-work on each and every player of Team India.
No.4.
Indian batsmen have weakness on playing moving and bouncy wickets and evidence is visible from the performance in last test match at Centurion where Team India got out to paltry 136 in their first innings in testing conditions.
No.5.
Suresh Raina is in poor form and has to be dropped but Cheteshwar Pujara will also going to play his first test match in South Africa. So not sure about his ability to play in seaming and bouncy conditions.
No.6.
Proteas bowling is far superior than Team India. Both Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn bowls at speed of 145 kms. Both are very consistent with their line and length and can pick-up wicket anytime in the match. They both have great support from Harris and Kallis from other end who pick up crucial wickets at crucial junctures.
No.7.
Team India depends highly on their openers to give them good start. If openers fail then middle-order will not going to survive too long.
No.8.
VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid didn't look in good form in first test match at Centurion and that is big blow to Team India.
No.9.
All the South African batsmen are in superb form and they are more dangerous in their home conditions. Especially Amla is having great run against Team India and he likes scoring against Team India.
No.10.
Fielding of Proteas is far better than Team India and that will play crucial role in deciding the fate of the series.
So above are the 10 reasons which clearly suggests that there is absolutely no chance for Team India to win or draw the Test Series in South Africa. Team India will end on losing note in this Test Series and that is confirm.
