"Better Player Than Rohit Sharma" - Twitter Reacts to Temba Bavuma's Fighting Century Against Australia

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma produced one of the best knocks of his career during the second Test against Australia at St. George's Park, Gqeberha. The right-hander single-handedly carried South Africa's batting and took them to a respectable first innings total.

Just like the first Test, Bavuma came in to bat when his side was in trouble at 12-2. The slide didn't stop as the Proteas lost two more wickets with 40 runs on the board. The hosts were clearly feeling the pressure, especially knowing that they have already lost the first match.

South Africa needed Temba Bavuma to stand up and he responded with a gritty knock filled with solid defence and patches of aggressive strokeplay. After his century, the social media was full of praise for the legendary SA skipper, which shows the worth of this knock. Let's find out more on social media reaction on Temba Bavuma hundred.

A Knock To Remember From Temba Bavuma

It was a knock for the ages from Bavuma, who once again showed why he is one of the best Test batsmen of this era. The 36-year-old stitched several important partnerships on his way to this great knock.

While South Africa lost wickets at the other end, Bavuma stood firm to take his team to an excellent score. He has already completed his 150 with Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer playing important roles with the bat down the order.

The South African captain was under pressure to perform after two failures in the first Test match, which Proteas went on to lose. When the pressure was on with the Australian bowlers all over again, Bavuma's resilient knock has come to South Africa's rescue.
