Former India captain and Board of Control for Cricket in India President Sourav Ganguly lauded India on their victory over South Africa in the first Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday. Ganguly, who has been hospitalised after testing positive for Covid-19, said he was not surprised by the dominance that Virat Kohli-led Test team displayed in the Test series opener.

Virat Kohli became the first Asian captain to win a Test in Centurion as India hammered South Africa by 113 runs in the Boxing Day Test despite rain washing out a full day’s play.

KL Rahul’s first-innings hundred and a fiery spell from the pace bowling unit led by Mohammed Shami helped India clinch a rare series lead in the Rainbow Nation.

Taking to social media, Sourav Ganguly said India will be a tough side to beat from heron in this series, hinting he is expecting a historic series victory from the World No. 1 Test side. Notably, no Indian team in the past has managed to win a Test series in South Africa.

“Great victory for Team India ..not surprised by the result at all…will be a hard team to beat this series..South africa will have to play out of their skins to do that ..enjoy the new year (sic),” Ganguly said in a tweet.
