With Gautam Gambhir helping the Test side prepare for the blockbuster Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting from November 22, the interim head coach VVS Laxman will chip in with the squad. 

After landing in Durban, the Indian cricket team, in a light-hearted session, participated in a fun-quiz to set the tour alive, questioning the teammates about South Africa and other lively questions.

Abhishek Sharma questioned Tilak Varma and Vyashak Vijaykumar, “Is South Africa the only country with three capitals?” 

He further questioned his teammates: “Does Axar Patel have the loudest laugh in the squad?”

The session offered a pleasant, fun time to the players leading up to what is expected to be a fierce T20I series. 

The first game will get underway at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban, with the second, third and fourth to be played in Gqeberha, Centurion, and Johannesburg.
