India will be gunning for their maiden Test series win in South Africa when the Virat Kohli-led side locks horns with the hosts in the opening game at the SuperSport Park on Boxing Day (Dec. 26).

All eyes will be on India's playing combination and Virat Kohli when they take the field in the first Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.
