ప్రపంచ టెస్టు ఛాంపియన్షిప్లో పాయింట్లు పెంచుకునే దిశగా ముందుకు సాగుతోంది టీమిండియా. ఇప్పటికే వెస్టిండీస్తో జరిగిన టెస్టు సిరీస్ను కైవసం చేసుకున్న కోహ్లీసేన అదే జోరును దక్షిణాఫ్రికా సిరీస్లోనూ చూపించాలనుకుంటుంది.

కరీబియన్లపై 2-0 తేడాతో నెగ్గి 120 పాయింట్లు ఖాతాలో వేసుకుంది టీమిండియా. ఇలాంటివి మరో మూడు సిరీస్లు ఆడనున్న ఏకైక జట్టు కోహ్లీసేనే. రెండు మ్యాచ్ల సిరీస్ను డ్రా చేసుకున్న శ్రీలంక - న్యూజిలాండ్ చెరో 60 పాయింట్లు దక్కించుకున్నాయి. 5 మ్యాచ్ల యాషెస్ సిరీస్ను డ్రా చేసుకున్న ఇంగ్లాండ్ - ఆస్ట్రేలియా చెరో 56 పాయింట్లు పొందాయి.

విశాఖపట్టణం వేదికగా అక్టోబర్ 2న భారత్ - దక్షిణాఫ్రికా మధ్య మొదటి టెస్టు జరగనుంది. రెండోది పుణెలో, మూడో టెస్టు రాంచీ వేదికగా నిర్వహించనున్నారు. ఈ మూడు టెస్టుల సిరీస్లో మ్యాచ్కు 40 పాయింట్లు చొప్పున గెలిచిన జట్టు ఖాతాలో చేరతాయి. ఈ రకంగా 120 పాయింట్లు వస్తాయి.

ప్రొటీస్ జట్టుపై సిరీస్ నెగ్గి తన పాయింట్లను 240కు పెంచుకుందామని చూస్తోంది కోహ్లీసేన. ఓడితే 120 పాయింట్లతో ఇరు జట్లు టాప్-2లో ఉంటాయి. ఈ విధంగా ప్రతి మ్యాచ్లో గెలుస్తూ పాయింట్లతో ముందు వరుసలో ఉన్న రెండు జట్ల మధ్య 2021 జూన్లో టెస్టు ఛాంపియన్షిప్ ఫైనల్ మ్యాచ్ జరగనుంది.

1. Mid shot of John Bolton walking up to podium
2. SOUNDBITE (English) John Bolton, former national security adviser:
"I am delighted to be here today. I'm also sure the leadership of North Korea is delighted that am here today in a private capacity. At least that's what I've read. Perhaps they'll be a little less delighted now that I can speak in unvarnished terms about the grave and growing threat that the North Korean nuclear weapons program poses to international peace and security."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) John Bolton, former national security adviser:
"It seems to me clear that the DPRK has not made a strategic decision to give up its nuclear weapons. In fact I think the contrary is true. I think the strategic decision that Kim Jong Un is operating through is that he will do whatever he can to keep a deliverable nuclear weapons capability and to develop and enhance it further. He may try to get relief from international sanctions. He may make some concessions but under current circumstances, he will never give up the nuclear weapons voluntarily."
++BLACK BETWEEN SOUNDBITES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) John Bolton, former national security adviser:
"One reason, one very good, very troubling reason why there's no more testing of nuclear weapons for the moment or of long range missiles is that North Korea has in its judgment for well or ill, finished testing and can produce nuclear warheads and long range ballistic missiles. That's not an encouraging sign. That's a sign to be worried about."
++BLACK BETWEEN SOUNDBITES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) John Bolton, former national security adviser:
"If you believe and you may not that it is unacceptable for North Korea to have nuclear weapons, at some point, military force has to be an option."
6. Bolton steps away from stage
STORYLINE:
Former national security adviser John Bolton gave a characteristically pessimistic outlook on the prospects for getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons as he made his first public appearance since he was ousted from his post by President Donald Trump.
Bolton made no mention of Trump in his speech to a forum on Korean security on Monday and avoided any discussion of the president in a brief question-and-answer session that followed. But he made it clear that he does not expect much progress in the stalled talks even though Kim Jong Un has halted nuclear weapons tests and met three times with Trump.
The North Korean leader has made a "strategic decision" to do whatever he can to keep his country's nuclear weapons, and that is an "unacceptable" threat to the world, the famously hawkish former U.N. ambassador said.
"Under current circumstances, he will never give up nuclear weapons voluntarily," Bolton said at the forum, hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Trump fired Bolton this month amid policy disagreements over North Korea and other issues.
The Republican president has said that Bolton's views set the United States back "very badly" in talks with the North and added that "maybe a new method would be very good."
Bolton has insisted the North should follow the Libyan path of denuclearization by fully eliminating its nuclear program upfront in a possible deal with the United States, a view he repeated at the security forum.
He warned that there is a danger not just from North Korea's own weapons but the potential that it could sell missiles or technology to other states.
The United States, Bolton said, is the only country in the world that can stop nuclear proliferation but it must act before it is too late. He said there should be "serious discussions" about strategies, including military force, to counter North Korea's weapons program.
"If you believe, and you may not, that it is unacceptable for North Korea to have nuclear weapons at some point military force has to be an option," he said.
Later, he stressed that time may be running out to resolve the issue.
