He deserves his spot but this is good news for India anyway. Much less likely to score runs in South Africa than the other two openers.

Also, [obligatory joke about Indian openers always being injured]

This is India's best shot at beating a top team away from home. Steyn's form is up in the air, ABDs form and mindset in a similar position. Plus, the opener's slot(s) is not as stable as it once was. If the Indian batsmen can negate Philander and Rabada and score big enough, they can really stretch SA.

Now that Markram's joined Elgar, the opening pair is more stable than it's been for a long time.

^^You will only know it's stable until Markram steps out of his safe space and head to foreign lands

just the opposite - BCCI didn't give Indian team any opportunity to prepare properly; after a long time SA is full-strength team; after a long time SA is determined to make fast picthes; SA opening pair is stable after a long time
If anything, India will have a much better chance in England and Australia - because those two team are much weaker, especially England

Wouldn't be writing an ATG of like that.
You are also forgetting Morkel is in the form of his life.
The openers are in a much better spot then they were 6 months ago.
The SA side is in goid space. Hopefully they get selection right and the groundsmen get the pitches right.
Will be good series but SA should win.

England just dominated RSA at home. England are not much weaker than RSA.
England played very well in that series but SA were clearly under strength in that series.
No AB nor Steyn for the whole series. Kg, philander and faf missing one test each. It was a very unsettled side during the series.
Never claimed there was.
The sides are pretty close. Sadly for both the last 2 series the SA side has been very unsettled while England were very settled . England have played the big moments much better the last 2 series.
