But again, it has retained the linear rights of the series, which will now be shown on the Sony Sports network. An official announcement on this is expected soon. 

Team India Sans RoKo

It will be a new-look Indian team with no Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in their ranks. Kohli and Rohit were big crowd pullers, so with the two stalwarts not there - it would be interesting to see if it affects the viewership or not. The five-match Test series also marks the start of a new World Test Championship cycle. After making it to the summit clash of the first two editions of the WTC, Team India failed to make it three in a row. South Africa will take on Australia in the WTC final soon.
