Parthiv Patel picks India XI for South Africa Test
Parthiv Patel has named his preferred Indian XI for the first Test against South Africa, backing a lineup with three spinners and two seamers. The only uncertainty, he said, is the No. 6 slot between all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and batter Dhruv Jurel. Jurel's superb form, including twin tons for India A, strengthens his selection case.
