Former South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis recently opined that Virat Kohli will be eager to have a big impact with the bat during the upcoming series.

The legendary player feels that India's chances of winning their maiden Test series in South Africa will rely heavily on Kohli's performances. Speaking to Star Sports, Kallis said:

"I am sure he will want to have a big series here in South Africa. He has been in good form. I think he will play a major role in helping India. If they are to win here, he will have to have a good series."

Kallis contiuned:

"He's a massive player, no matter where it is. Having played here quite a bit and had a fair amount of success. He'll be able to pass that knowledge on to the other guys, especially the younger guys and give them ideas on how to manage these conditions and then what to expect."
