With the series sealed in Nagpur, the fourth and the final Test between India and South Africa that starts in Delhi from December 3 is of little significance as far as result is concerned. India are 2-0 up in the series after winning in Mohali and Nagpur, while Bengaluru Test was washed out due to rains.
However, there is plenty of motivation for both the sides coming in to the game. For India, it is a golden chance to achieve the rare feat of blanking a strong South African team. Under an aggressive captain in Virat Kohli, the team has looked hungry to win and there is no reason why Delhi Test would be any different.
On the other hand, South Africa would hope to do well and salvage some pride. They did well to win the limited-overs series early on and thus would want to cap off the long tour with a win. Their batsmen have not been able to handle the Indian spin attack so far in the series. But they would hope to start afresh and that Delhi turns out to be a different story.
At this venue, India holds a terrific record with 12 wins and 6 defeats. In the last 10 Tests that India have played on this ground, they have won 9 and lost only 1. The match will begin at 9:30 am Indian Standard Time (IST). Catch the live streaming of this last encounter from the Gandhi-Mandela series here.
