Indian captain Rohit Sharma also emphasised that the young batsmen will need to adapt to the “challenging” South African conditions.
Rohit expressed his expectation that the conditions for the second Test wouldn’t differ significantly from those in Centurion, where India suffered an innings defeat in the first Test last week.
“The pitch looks pretty similar to Centurion,” Rohit said at the pre-match presser. “Maybe not full of grass, but there is enough covering of grass on the pitch.”
