The first match of the India-South Africa two-Test series will start from December 26. The first T20I series against South Africa ended in a draw and then India won the ODI series 2-1. The series also features Indian skipper Rohit Sharma returning to international competition for India after the ICC ODI World Cup.
A historic feat awaits Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in the upcoming Test match. If he hits 14 more sixes in the match, Rohit can take the historic feat of being the most sixes for India in Test cricket.
Rohit has scored 77 sixes out of 88 innings for India in Tests. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag holds the top spot in this feat with 90 sixes. Second behind Sehwag is former Indian captain M. S Dhoni is also there. Dhoni hit 78 sixes in 144 innings.
If the hitman manages to hit 14 more sixes, Rohit can overtake Dhoni and Sehwag to reach the top spot.
