Newly appointed Test vice-captain of the Indian team, Rohit Sharma shared a video on his official Instagram account showing him getting in the rhythm for the upcoming three Tests and three ODIs tour of South Africa.
Rohit, who was also named the new ODI and T20I captain of the Indian team recently, replaced Ajinkya Rahane as Virat Kohli’s deputy in the longest format of the game and his first assignment will be the three Tests against South Africa which begin from December 26 onwards.
South Africa remains the only frontier for the Indian team where they haven’t won a Test series. Their best performance since 1992 was a 1-1 draw in the 2010-11 series under the captaincy of MS Dhoni and India has won only three Tests in all in the rainbow nation.

However, this time, the team seems determined to win the Tests series and vice-captain Rohit Sharma has started preparing for the same from now on itself.
He shared a video on his Instagram account where he is seen practicing in nets with Indian team’s throwdown specialists and prepared against both left and right arm bowlers.
He captioned the post: "Getting Started in 3..2..1"
