3 min
Temba Bavuma

South Africa Cricket Team captain Temba Bavuma is all set to achieve a massive feat in the second Test against the Indian Cricket Team. The match between the two teams will be played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati from November 21 onwards. Bavuma was the star for South Africa in the first IND vs SA test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Not only with his leadership, but he was also magical with the bat on a pitch that was difficult to bat on. The right-hander played a brilliant innings in the second innings to help his team win.

Temba Bavuma was the only batter to score a fifty in the first Test, and he showed great grit against Indian spinners. He played an unbeaten innings of 55 runs and helped his team set a target of 124 runs, which India failed to chase and lost by 30 runs. This win against India was another feather in Temba Bavuma Captaincy Record, which justifies him to be one of the best test captain in the world.

Temba Bavuma on the Verge of Scripting History

In the first test in Kolkata, under Temba Bavuma Captaincy, South Africa won their first test in India after 15 long years. He would now be eyeing a series win as well, and if that happens, this will be the first time in a long time that South Africa will win a series in India. Temba Bavuma Captaincy Record has been sensational. He is yet to lose a single game as the captain of South Africa in tests, which says a lot about his leadership. The right-hander has captained his team in 11 games and has won 10 out of them, with one ending in a draw.

If he manages to win the next match, he will create history as he will become the first captain in the history of Test cricket to register the most number of wins before registering his first loss as a captain. This will mark his 11th win in the format. Temba Bavuma also won the ICC World Test Championship as a captain recently. In that game too, he led from the front and slammed a half-century to help his team win the title and register their first-ever ICC title in a long time.

India Eyeing a Comeback in IND vs SA 2nd Test

India would be keen to make a strong comeback in the second match. They would be under pressure going into the second match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, as the venue will host the test match for the first time in history. The last match will be important for them, considering the ICC WTC points on line. India would be desperate to win the match and level the series.

Last year, India also lost the series against New Zealand by a margin of 3-0 at home. However, India will be playing without one of the best test batsman in the world, skipper Shubman Gill, who is most likely to be ruled out due to an injury that occurred in the first match of the series.
