KANPUR, IANS: Left with no option, India will have to go for the jugular against a resurgent South Africa in the third and final Test beginning on Friday to draw the series after the visitors took a 1-0 lead with their surprise but well deserved win in the second match.
It is an unusual scenario for India, who have not lost a home series for almost four years. The last time they succumbed to a visiting team was in 2004 when Australia won the four-match series 2-1. Now captain Anil Kumble faces the same situation Sourav Ganguly had encountered then.
It is a surprising turnaround for India as they had performed so well against world champions Australia Down Under recently. The home team was beaten in the second Test by a team widely believed to be a weak one although not short on determination and resilience.
