Pune: Without a shadow of doubt, Virat Kohli is one of the best players of spin in Test cricket. He has a huge repertoire of shots and can demoralize bowlers with his solid strokeplay. However, even he is human and has his bad days.

Jadeja had an exceptional first Test against South Africa where he took 4 wickets to bowl out the Proteas batsman on the fifth day. He'll be key to India's chances in Pune. Meanwhile, Kohli was dismissed in the first innings for a paltry 20. In the second innings, he batted at No. 5 and scored an unbeaten 25-ball 31.
Coming to the series, India look set to register a comfortable victory in all three Tests given South Africa's shaky bowling line-up. However, they have been historically a strong team and you can never count them out. With batsmen like Dean Elgar, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock in their arsenal, they can at least bat out a draw.
India are also top of the table in the ongoing World Test Championships, while South Africa are yet to open their account.
