New Delhi: India will begin their 72-day long home series against South Africa with a T20 International on October 2, followed by five one-dayers and four Test matches, making it the longest tour to the country by the vistors.
Besides the T20 matches at Dharamshala (October 2), Cuttack (October 5) and Kolkata October 8), the series will feature ODIs in Kanpur (October 11), Indore (October 14), Rajkot (October 18), Chennai (October 22) and Mumbai (October 25). The limited overs series will be followed by Tests at Mohali (November 5 to 9), Bengaluru (November 14 to 18), Nagpur (November 25 to 29) and the concluding match of the tour in Delhi from December 3 to 7. South Africa’s talismanic captain A.B. de Villiers is scheduled to play his 100th Test at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Said Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat, “Of note will be the second Test in Bengaluru where the Proteas previously secured our only ever Test series win over India in India in 2000.
“If all works out, this will be AB de Villiers’ 100th Test and it could not be a more appropriate venue as it has become AB’s second home through his involvement with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.”
