K. L. Rahul scored 10 and 4 in the second Test vs South Africa. India have never won a Test series in Australia and South Africa, going back a staggering 70 years and 25 years, respectively, in these bilateral contests. There is a sense of déjà vu when India tour, and it’s not misplaced, as the recent series against South Africa shows. The team had held South Africa to a creditable 1-1 draw (playing away) and was ranked No.1 in Tests. The series has been lost, but the problems encountered in South Africa will recur through the year.
