This is the first time since 2013 that India have travelled to South Africa for a Test series; they have never claimed a series win against the Proteas in South Africa before (D1 L5).
South Africa have only tasted defeat once in their last seven Test matches on home soil versus India (W4 D2); the Proteas haven't lost a Test in South Africa against any side since January 2016 (vs England, W8 D1 since).
India are currently enjoying a nine-game unbeaten run on the road in Test cricket (W7 D2); they only lost one Test overall in 2017, winning seven times and drawing on three occasions.
Only one batsman (Steve Smith, 1,305) scored more Test runs during 2017 than Cheteshwar Pujara; he posted 1,140 runs at an average of 67 last year.
India duo Umesh Yadav (99) and Mohammed Shami (95) are both closing in on 100 Test wickets for their country; 20 players have reached this milestone for India previously.
