India and South Africa have to play two Test matches against each other from December 26 onwards. The Proteas have never lost a Test series to India at home and would be banking on that record when they face the Indian Test.
India are embarking on another tour of South Africa, the thorn in the team's overseas outings, especially in Test cricket. India have won matches in South Africa, but are yet to win a Test series and head coach Rahul Dravid has admitted that it will be a challenging series.

India last played a T20I series in South Africa in 2017-18 and won it 2-1. However, they suffered a whitewash (3-0) in the previous ODI series that they played during their 2021-22 tour of South Africa.
