Virat Kohli has rejoined the squad in South Africa ahead of the first Test against the Proteas, starting on December 26. Kohli's absence from intra-squad practice matches was pre-planned, with the BCCI revealing that he had personal commitment that led to his trip to London instead of returning to India. Kohli had undergone multiple training sessions before departing and is expected to resume practice in Centurion. South Africa's head coach, Shukri Conrad, expresses confidence in his pacers Rabada and Ngidi, who, despite lacking match time, are considered fresh and available for selection in the upcoming 'Boxing Day' Test.
