Temba Bavuma Declares South Africa ‘Fully Prepared’ for Test Series Against India

Team India is now busy touring Australia, playing a five-match T20 International series. After this series, the Indian team will play a two-match Test series against current World Test Championship champions South Africa, starting November 14th. Both teams have announced their squads for the series. Regular Proteas captain Temba Bavuma, injured during the Test series against Pakistan, is set to return to action. He is fully prepared to return to the field in the Test series against India. He has made a big statement by terming this series as important.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma is playing his second unofficial four-day match against India A ahead of the Test series against India. All eyes will be on Bavuma's fitness in this match. The match begins today, November 6, at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru. Rishabh Pant will once again lead India A in this match, along with Kuldeep Yadav.

According to media reports, Temba Bavuma said before the upcoming Test series, "Although we haven't won a Test series in India in a long time, this time we have a golden chance. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have helped the Indian team reach its current position, but now both of them are no longer in the team. However, young Indian players are trying to take their place. However, this series will not be easy for them."

He said, "As far as our team is concerned, we have come fully prepared this time." Regarding the Indian pitches, Bavuma said, "We know what kind of challenges we will face. Bowling has been our biggest strength. This time we have excellent spin bowlers in Keshav Maharaj, Senuran Muthusamy, and Simon Harmer. In addition to them, we also have Tristan Stubbs as a spin option."
