Russell Domingo, South Africa cricket coach, confirmed this week that Dale Steyn will in fact suit up and play against India in Melbourne this weekend at the Cricket World Cup. Steyn, who had been initially ruled out, has recovered from a minor flu. He did not play in the last 2 weeks.

"He is fine, there is nothing to be concerned about," Domingo said one week prior to match vs india.

All eyes are on Virat Kohli after the batsman put up 107 against Pakistan last week. Want to hear something crazy? South Africa is the ONLY country that Kohli has not scored a century against.

Doing it this weekend against Steyn won't be easy - not even close. Steyn is easily one of the best fast bowlers in the game's history, with 152 wickets from 97 ODI matches.

The larger problem at hand for India is going up against such a well-built South African side. Not only are they heavy at the top with talent, but their depth makes it nearly impossible to build any sort of momentum as the opponent. Other than Steyn, South Africa boasts the likes of Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander, Kyle Abbott and Wayne Parnell.

South Africa is a multi-headed monster that India must take down. But can they?
