Watch Live: South Africa’s Tour of India - The Challengers vs The Defenders
The Battle for the Mace Returns
The current World Test Championship winners, South Africa, will arrive on Indian soil for a full tour featuring Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. India’s aim is clear. Reclaim the top spot and take down the team that holds the mace. For India, it’s a statement season. A challenge that tests India’s depth, firepower, and grit across formats, from the red-ball classics to the white-ball fireworks.
And for fans in the U.S., Sling brings every match live on Willow in HD, without cables, buffering, or stress. Just pure live cricket, no matter where you are.
What to Watch For
The Test Showdown: India vs South Africa
Red-ball cricket is back, and this time, it’s personal. South Africa arrives as the defending WTC champions, and India’s charge to reclaim the mace starts here. The pitches will spin, bounce, and bite, but it’s the mindset that’ll decide who dominates the mornings and survives the evenings.
With the new captain, Shubman, and the yorker-master Bumrah, each session could swing the match.
Test Series Schedule
ODIs: Big Runs, Bigger Names
The familiar faces return, yet again. After lighting up the third ODI against Australia, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are back to headline the 50-over stage. Expect heavy drives through cover, pull shots that take the ball out of the ground, and a reminder that India’s ODI core isn’t done yet. South Africa’s pace challenge meets India’s form and flair, and on flat Indian decks, that means fireworks. It’s the format of legacy, and both sides know what’s at stake as they tune up for the global tournament.
ODI Series Schedule
T20Is: New Energy. New Era. Same Passion.
If the Tests are about honor and the ODIs about legacy, the T20Is are pure thrill. Suryakumar Yadav, with his captain’s armband, will bring his 360° play and leadership skills to the shortest format. Expect experimental matchups, explosive finishes, and India’s young brigade pushing the tempo against South Africa’s seasoned attack.
India’s future is already here, and it’s preparing for the World Cup that’s coming.
