Benifits India have in the upcoming Freedom Test Series.

The Indian team is currently at the 5th spot in the ICC test ranking. India has been struggling in the test in test in the overseas conditions for quiet along time. Our competitors South Africa are the no.1 test team in the world. It is said South Africa travel really well. They proved this recently in the one day series against India were they won the series 3-2. It has been 8 year that South Africa have not lost a test series away from home. But the test series against India will be very difficult for the proteas to concur. Below are listed some of the major advantages India have in the test series:-
1) Spin attack:- The spin trio struggled the Proteas in the one day series and this can be one of the major advantages India have in the test series. All South African batsmen were struggled to score freely against the Indian spinners. India's ace spinner R Ashwin is also back in the team and cause serious problem for the Proteas. Also the left arm spin by Ravindra Jadeja will also come handy on the turning pitches of India. The spin attack of India can severe tangle the South African batsmen in there web.
2) Lack of front line spin bowlers for Proteas:- Other than Imran Tahir there is no other specialist spin bowler for Proteas. Even though JP Duminy is there but he cannot be considered as a specialist spinner. The fast bowling attack will come into play for them only if there is swing and something for the fast bowlers in the pitch. But this is not likely to happen on flat pitches in India.
3) Good form of Ishant Sharma:- There has been a huge change in the bowling of Ishant Sharma from the test series in Australia. He is in tremendous form and his form in the recent series against Sri Lanka were he destroyed the batting lineup of the Lankans will certainly boost his confidence. And this is overall a very good sign for India. Other than that Umesh Yadav, Varun Aron can trouble the batsmen with excessive pace. And can contribute to the bowling attack of India. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar recently showed that he is able to get wickets with the old ball but is not able to strike with the new ball. If he is able to do that he can really be dangerous for the Proteas.
4) Good form of Indian batsmen:- The good form of Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma will certainly boost the confidence of the Indian team. Ajinkya Rahane has been consistent in test and proved himself. Rohit Sharma too is in very good form along with Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli can be on the hitlist of the Proteas because he plays really well as captain and has scored 5 tons in 6 tests as a captain.
5) The attacking captain:- The attacking nature if Virat Kohli will surely help India in this series. He has shown this in the series against Sri Lanka were India went on to win the series 2-1 after being down by 1-0 at the start of the 2nd test. Such is the confidence of Virat Kohli in his team. His never say die attitude helped India in the earlier series and hope will help him in the upcoming series as well.
