Former India captain Sourav Ganguly believes that the upcoming two-Test series will pose a tough challenge for reigning World Test Champions South Africa, noting that “playing against India in India is never easy, as they are a very strong side in subcontinent conditions.”

The two teams are set to face each other in a multi-format series, which will see Gill and Co. host the Proteas for two Tests and three ODIs. Then, Surykumar Yadav-led side will engage in five T20ls against the Proteas men.
The first Test will be played in Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens, home of Ganguly, who is also the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
“The first Test starts in Kolkata in a few days, and it's going to be a tough tour for South Africa.
“Playing against India in India is never easy. India is a very strong side in the subcontinent, and they are a strong team even overseas these days.
“I'm really looking forward to the Test at Eden Gardens. South Africa is a good side, so it should be a high-quality contest,” Ganguly said on JioStar.
