Winning A Test Series In India Would Be Next Best To Our WTC Triumph: Bavuma
The Eden Gardens Test: For Temba Bavuma, few cricketing challenges are as alluring as conquering India in their own backyard. The South African captain, who led his team to the World Test Championship (WTC) title earlier this year, believes that a series victory in India would stand just a step below that global triumph in significance.
I think, obviously, winning the World Test Championship… not much to trump that. But second to that, I think, will be winning in India,” Bavuma said on the eve of the first Test at Eden Gardens. “It’s something that’s— I wouldn’t even say it’s eluded us, but we haven’t been able to do for the longest time. So, I mean, that’s definitely up there in terms of ambition.”
South Africa haven’t won a Test in India since 2010 and have lost seven successive matches across three tours. But Bavuma believes his current group — unbeaten in any full-strength Test series since coach Shukri Conrad took charge in 2023 — carries the composure, belief, and experience needed to change that script.
