Match preview

India secured a record 11th consecutive home series win with a comprehensive innings victory over South Africa last week and Virat Kohli's men are red-hot favourites to complete a series clean sweep in Ranchi.

Kohli has vowed that his side 'will not take their foot of the gas' in the third and final Test against the Proteas and their dominant batting line-up could pile into the South African attack again.

India's batsmen have compiled seven centuries between them in just three innings in the series with openers Mayank Agarwal and Rohit Sharma hitting two apiece.

The composed Agarwal could be the Indian batsman to support in the third Test after he followed a double century in Vizag with 108 in Pune last week. At 7-2 he makes appeal to lead the hosts' runscoring with another sizeable contribution.
