The third Test is scheduled to be played here from January 11-15. If Kohli is declared match fit, Hanuma Vihari will make way for the Indian talisman. “It’s GO time here in Cape Town. #TeamIndia all set and prepping for the series decider,” the BCCI wrote in another tweet alongside a host of pictures including Kohli batting at the nets.

Seeking to win their first-ever series on South African soil, India began the rubber on a rousing note, winning the opener at Centurion by 113 runs before succumbing to a seven-wicket defeat in the second Test at Johannesburg. The Indian team arrived at Cape Town on Saturday.
