India Preview
After a 30-run defeat in the opening Test, India head into the series decider without skipper Shubman Gill, who has been ruled out with a neck injury sustained on Day 2 in Kolkata.
Rishabh Pant will take over the captaincy as India aim to avoid a second consecutive home whitewash. Sai Sudharsan is likely to slot back into the XI, while wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel is expected to step up to No. 4 in the batting order.

South Africa Preview
Riding high on confidence, South Africa see a golden opportunity to make history by clinching their first series win in India since 2000 and silence critics who questioned their World Test Championship triumph earlier this year.
Although pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada has been ruled out of the second Test, Lungi Ngidi has been drafted into the squad as cover. Even so, the visitors are expected to stick with the same winning combination from the opening match.
