India have already lost the Test series against South Africa but left-hand batsman Suresh Raina believes that the Virat Kohli led side will surely win the ongoing third and final inconsequential Test in Johannesburg.

.

Talking to ANI on the sidelines of a charity function here, Raina said, "We are going to win the Test match tomorrow or day after tomorrow as the wicket is not easy."

India have given South Africa a 241-run target in the ongoing Test at the Wanderers cricket ground in Johannesburg.

When asked about the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, which is to begin tomorrow, Raina joked, "It is the headache of the management. Our job is to play."

A total of 578 players will go under the hammer on January 27 and 28 for the 11th edition of the IPL, which will begin from April 6.

Suresh Raina has already been retained by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for Rs. 11 crore along with MS Dhoni (Rs. 15 crore) and Ravindra Jadeja (Rs. 7 crore).
