99813 South Africa win toss, decide to bat in Nagpur Test Nagpur:South Africa won the toss and decided to bat in the first of the two-Test cricket series against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here Saturday.<br /><br />India were forced to make four changes, three of these owing to injuries, from the side that played in the second Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka a fortnight ago. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />Rahul Dravid, V.V.S. Laxman and Yuvraj Singh are out with injuries while leg-spinner Amit Mishra replaced left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />Rohit Sharma was to replace Laxman, but the Mumbai batsman hurt his ankle while warming up this morning and that paved the way for Bengal~s wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha to make his Test debut.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />Also, making debut for India is Tamil Nadu~s Subramaniam Badrinath, who has been on the fringes for quite some years. Karnataka~s Murali Vijay, who has done well whenever he got a chance, will bat at number three.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />South Africa made one change from the side that played the fourth and last Test against England at Johannesburg last month, bringing in left-arm spinner Paul Harris for all-rounder Ryan McLaren.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />The teams:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />India: M.S.
