Johannesburg, Dec 3:
The Indian cricket team prepared for the ODI series against South Africa by going through a rigorous training session here with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni promising to dish out “good and exciting cricket” during the tour starting Thursday.
The first one-dayer will be followed by two more 50-over matches before the teams lock horns in a two-match Test series in what will be India’s first engagement in the post-Sachin Tendulkar era.
The world number ODI side arrived here yesterday and after settling down in the Sandton hotel, the players made their way to the ground to get acclimatised to the conditions here.
Although India are touring with one of their least experienced squads in a long time, what could help them is that six players from the current side toured South Africa in August to play first-class and List A matches. One of the limited-overs games saw Shikhar Dhawan scoring 248. (PTI)
