When India plays South Africa on Tuesday at the SuperSport Park, Rohit Sharma will captain the team for the first time in a Boxing Day Test. In an effort to break a 31-year streak without winning a Test series in South Africa, Rohit will have to navigate a challenging landscape in order to reach what has long been referred to as the team's "final frontier." One of the fastest tracks in the area, the Centurion track has varying bounce. And that compensates for a thrilling match between bat and ball in open territory where it can jiggle around a little in comparatively cooler and windier conditions.
