Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh passed the fitness test and will play the Three-Test Series against South Africa scheduled to start from March 26, 2008 (Wednesday). Dhoni had a sprain in his finger and Harbhajan Singh was nursing a left hamstring injury. It is good for the Indian Team to have these players recovered from injuries.

The first test match is scheduled to be played at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk, Chennai). Even though this is a summer season its been raining here for the past couple of days. Hope the match will not be interrupted because of rain, next week.

This is infact gonna be a tough contest as stated in one of our previous posts - http://www.cricketdamaka.com/archives/south-africa-tour-to-india
