India's Rohit Sharma faces a pivotal role in the upcoming Test against South Africa, with the team hoping to revive its standing in the World Championship points table. The return of Ravindra Jadeja is expected to strengthen the middle-order batting, while the captain's decisions on fast bowlers are critical to the team's response. Despite facing challenges with the bouncer barrage, India is desperate for a win, given their record at the Newlands ground. However, Rohit Sharma seeks redemption after India's World Cup final defeat and a recent loss to South Africa at Centurion.
