The Indian team is currently in Cape Town, preparing for the first test against South Africa at the Newlands.
BCCI opted out of the practice match, as they wanted to have extensive practice sessions. They have different kinds of wickets in order to get ready for the South African conditions.
The Indians had a very fruitful outdoor session on the first day. But heavy rains in Cape Town on the second day, meant that India had to go in for an indoor training session.
