India had its final training session on Sunday, ahead of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in Centurion.
The first Test of the two-match series begins on Tuesday. The second match will be played from January 3 to 7 in Cape Town.
BCCI post three videos on X (formerly known as Twitter), showing players doing batting, bowling and fielding practice.
The batting video features skipper Rohit Sharma hitting a pull and a slog sweep. Virat Kohli, K L Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill can also be seen having a knock in the nets.
Fielding coach T Dilip had players practising catching in the slips as well as on the boundary.
All frontline bowlers - Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Prasidh Krishna, Mukesh Kumar, Ravinchandran Ashwin and Jadeja - can be seen rolling their arm over.
