India is set to return to red-ball cricket after a month-long hiatus as they host South Africa in a two-match Test series, beginning on November 14 in Kolkata. The series marks the resumption of India’s Test campaign following a brief break.

A key highlight of the series is the much-anticipated return of Rishabh Pant to the Indian Test team. The wicket-keeper batter, who had been sidelined due to a leg injury sustained during the fourth Test of the England tour, is back to reinforce India’s middle order. With his return, Pant will resume the vice-captaincy, taking over from veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who had served as Shubman Gill’s temporary deputy during the West Indies series.
