South Africa tour will be tough for India, says Gautam Gambhir

New Delhi: Gambhir feels being the world’s no.1 Test side, India should win in “every condition” as Virat Kohli and his men embark on a tough Test and limited-overs series in South Africa starting next month.

“It’s going to be a tough tour because South Africa is a very good side especially in their own backyard. They have got quality bowling, they have got quality batting. India really has to play well to beat them,” Gambhir said.

“I hope they have got the confidence from what they have done in the last two years. Even if they have played the bulk of their cricket at home, they should go to South Africa with a lot of confidence, a lot of belief as the no.1 Test side and I hope they can deliver there. “Ultimately, the no.1 side should be able to win in every condition. I hope India continues the same form what they have shown at home,” he added.
