Virat-Anushka head to South Africa for New Year celebrations

In the last 18 months, India have only played an away Test match in Sri Lanka. Keeping the hostile conditions and the South African team in mind, there is no doubt this will be an acid test for Kohli and Co.

The Indian captain took time off from his busy schedule and requested BCCI to grant him rest from the final Test match and the entire limited overs series against Sri Lanka so that he could tie the knot.
