India can be confident of securing an historic Test series win in South Africa as they are yet to lose at the Wanderers the venue for the second TestIndian captain Virat Kohli has every reason to be confident his team can seal an historic Test series win in South Africa when they face the hosts in the second Test at the Wanderers Stadium on Monday. India have yet to be beaten in a Test match at South Africa's premier cricket stadium and have a record of two wins and three draws since their first tour of South Africa in 1992/93. Kohli then led India to victory on a sub-standard pitch four seasons ago, a win he has highlighted as a "milestone" which gave the side the belief to follow up with a series win in Australia last January. A series win in South Africa remains a final frontier for India, who now have the opportunity to wrap up an historic triumph with a match to spare. Kyle Verreynne is expected to be De Kock's successor as a wicketkeeper-batsman but South Africa will debate whether to add another specialist batsman in place of all-rounder Wiaan Mulder.
