We have a real hunger and desire to beat India, says Maharaj

We have a real hunger and desire to beat India, says Maharaj

KESHAV Maharaj is ready to face India at Eden Gardens on Friday.

(AFP)

Seven defeats, a single victory and one match abandoned due to an unseasonal Bengaluru monsoon since 2010.

“It's probably one of the toughest tours, if not the toughest tour in the Proteas calendar,” experienced spinner Keshav Maharaj admitted yesterday.

There is something different about this upcoming two-match series, which starts at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Friday. Unlike the last visit here in 2019, when the team was in disarray after a wretched World Cup campaign, held together by a part-time management staff, and the entire game in a complete flux back home, the Proteas have arrived in India with the World Test Championship belt in their possession — a feat that has eluded their hosts on two occasions.
