Former India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant trained with Vinod Kambli in Mumbai. There is pressure on Rahane not to score runs. His current average in Test cricket is 17. Hopefully he will change this and there can be no better place than Rainbow Nation which has been hostile towards the batsmen. The team will play its first Test match at Centurion from 26 December.

The Mumbaikar lost his vice-captain to Rohit Sharma, who has now been ruled out of the three-match Test series. The BCCI is yet to make a formal announcement as to who will be Virat Kohli’s deputy. Meanwhile, Kambli was joined by his son Cristiano. “Happy to help train Ajinkya and Rishabh for the upcoming South Africa series. Shared some valuable insights with him about SA conditions. My best wishes to him for the #SAvIND series.”
Kambli tweeted, “A few lessons from PS Cristiano too.”

Rohit out
India’s new Test vice-captain Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the three-match Test series against South Africa. The 34-year-old was recently promoted to the position and was all set to play the series opener in Centurion. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, he injured himself while practicing at the Bandra Kurla Complex. Gujarat batsman Priyank Panchal will be his cover. There is no confirmation whether he will play the ODI series or not as the nature of the injury is said to be serious. He had been practicing in Mumbai for the past one week to prepare for the three-match series. News agency PTI reported that he had suffered a hand injury.
