- 2nd Test: November 22–26, 2025 – Guwahati
Both Tests are likely to be crucial in the standings of the World Test Championship.

- 3rd ODI: December 06, 2025 – Visakhapatnam
The ODIs will center on team balance and form of players with 2026 global tournaments in mind: Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and KL Rahul will look to solidify the top order for India, while for South Africa, Quinton de Kock and David Miller should anchor the innings.
T20I Series
The five-match T20I series forms the grand finale of the tour and is a real test of skill, adaptability, and nerve.

Khelostar Insights: Key Storylines to Watch
At Khelostar, we go beyond the fixtures to give fans an inside look at what could shape this series.
- Form and Fitness: After such long tours, management of players’ workload will be important. Bench strength for India, comprising bowlers like Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan, may get opportunities.
- Captaincy Dynamics: The series may well signal a fresh era in India’s leadership transition, with Rohit Sharma leading the red-ball side, while Hardik Pandya comes into the lead role in the T20Is. South Africa may persist with Temba Bavuma or try Aiden Markram as their full-time captain across formats.
- Pitch and Weather Impact: From Delhi’s slow turners to Dharamsala’s swinging conditions, each venue presents a different challenge. Winter in North India often carries dew and fog, and night games might be affected by those.
- Strategic Importance: This series is the testing ground for bench strength for both teams going into major tournaments, so expect rotation, experimentation, and maybe even surprise debuts.
Predictions: Who Has the Upper Hand?
- Tests: India appear a different proposition at home, their spin attack and batting depth likely to prove too much for this South Africa line-up.
- ODIs: Closer competition expected; South Africa’s power hitters and India’s tactical middle order will decide the outcome.
- T20Is: Get set for fireworks! Both the teams have explosive hitters and dynamic all-rounders. This is a contest that promises to be a treat for any kind of fan.
Khelostar hopes India wins the Test and T20I series and the ODIs may be decided in the final match.
