Everyone&#8217;s ready to go in a different format. Obviously, the test win is incredible,&#8221; Burger said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great for South African cricket. It&#8217;s just to show that we&#8217;re here to keep dominating and that&#8217;s what we want to keep doing in all three formats.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After spin-friendly wickets in the Test series, Burger expects batting-friendly conditions for the ODIs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think in India, the one-day wickets are normally pretty good for batting; the scores are generally higher than all around the world,&#8221; said Burger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, I think we can expect a few more runs. But I think, if we bowl well and put pressure on, obviously, spin will be quite crucial in the middle overs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But if we can bowl well as a unit, we can hopefully restrict them to scores or be able to chase down scores that we restrict them to.&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">En route to Ranchi! \ud83d\udeeb<\/p>\n<p>Fresh off a brilliant Test Series, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheProteas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TheProteas<\/a> Men head to the City of Waterfalls as the focus shifts to the first ODI this weekend. \ud83c\uddff\ud83c\udde6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aa3Pzt8vgI\">pic.twitter.com\/aa3Pzt8vgI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Proteas Men (@ProteasMenCSA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ProteasMenCSA\/status\/1994347325615923268?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by: Ntsako Mukhari<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proteas fast bowler, Nandre Burger, says South Africa\u2019s historic Test series win against India in Guwahati has given the team a boost ahead of the limited-overs tour.
