South Africa (Playing XI): Dean Elgar(c), Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, David Bedingham, Kyle Verreynne(w), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar

The scanners will be out on Shreyas Iyer too. Does he have the skill and stomach to wear a few on his body like the retiring Dean Elgar did in Centurion and all through the last series two years ago? Or is he willing to be known as a batting star only in less probing conditions? The same applies to Shubman Gill.
