Previous South Africa captain Faf du Plessishas said that putting the mistake of the last behind them would be quite difficult for the Indian players. India had gone into the title conflict having not easily won all of the past matches that they had played. Du Plessis contrasted the failure with what he and the Proteas felt when they lost to New Zealand in the 2015 World Cup semi-last.

India's Had Best Players Of The World

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are among the players who will not be playing in the T20I or ODI series in South Africa during the impending visit, highlighting just in the side that will be a two-match Test series toward its finish. They will be hoping to quickly return from the devastating disillusionment of losing the last by accomplishing something notable - recording a first Test series win for country in South Africa.

"Indiawere so amazing in the way they played in this World Cup," the former Proteas skipper added. "They were unbelievable the way they went about their business. They will be feeling similarly and they will be heartbroken. That was their World Cup to win.

“That will take a bit of time and time heals everything. Your first series back feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Obviously, there are so quality players there and some experienced players who I am sure will help manage the young guys well,” said Du Plessis.
