South Africa vs India 2018: 5 reasons why India can beat SA in the Test series

#3 A well-balanced team

Ravichandran Ashwin adds to the balance of this team

On most tours overseas or in specific South Africa, India’s defiance usually rests solely on one player. And if he fails, then the team crumbles under the pressure created by opposition bowlers. The teams who toured SA previously lacked the perfect balance to succeed in those conditions.

This Indian team is different in that regard. As they have a team which bats almost upto number 11. Every batsman puts a price on his wicket and contributes to the team’s success.

In Sri Lanka or West Indies, we got to see the likes of Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin and Wridhiman Saha score big runs which decimated the opposition’s confidence and momentum.

South Africa is known to be a well-balanced unit always, and looking at this Indian team we can say for sure that two well-balanced teams are going to face off against each other.

This Indian team is not dependent on one batsman to guide them or rescue them. Every batsman is capable in his own right and has had his fair share of success overseas.
