South Africa vs India: Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli face selection headache in first overseas assignment together

India tour of South Africa: Captain Virat Kohli and head coach Rahul Dravid brace for gutsy selection calls as there is stiff competition for the middle-order spots. India play 3 Tests, starting Boxing Day in South Africa.

Even as the Virat Kohli-BCCI controversy rages on after the India Test captain's sensational press conference, the focus is slowly but surely shifting to cricket as the Asian giants are set to take on South Africa in a 3-Test series. The Rainbow Nation is being looked at as the final frontier for Virat Kohli's all-conquering Test team as the visitors have never managed to win a Test series in South Africa.

All eyes are on the new captain-coach combination of Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid as they have begun on a winning note, beating New Zealand 1-0 at home. But the challenge is certainly going to get tougher in South Africa with India beginning the series with the much-anticipated Boxing Day Test in Centurion.
