On January 5, 2018, the first Test between South Africa and India will get under way in Cape Town. Virat Kohli-led team will look to end a 25-year wait in the "Rainbow Nation".
It was in December 1992 that India went to South Africa for their maiden tour. The first-ever Test was in Port Elizabeth from December 26, 1992. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kepler Wessels were the captains.

South Africa won the two-match rubber 1-0 after winning the opening game. The second contest ended in a draw in Cape Town.
After six tours to South Africa, India are still searching for their maiden Test series win in the country. Will that wait finally end in 2018?
For Indians who cannot catch the action at South African grounds, Sony Pictures Networks (SPN) will cover Tests, ODIs and T20Is live on Sony TEN1 (English) and Sony TEN3 (Hindi) channels.
