After the historic win in the WTC Final, Temba Bavuma made this great record in captaincy

South Africa won against Australia by five wickets in the final.

South Africa created history at Lord’s Cricket Ground by achieving a historic five-wicket win against Australia in the final of the World Test Championship. By winning this trophy, South Africa ended the drought of not winning the ICC Trophy after 27 years. The last time the Proteas team won the ICC Knockout Trophy was in 1998.

So, captain Temba Bavuma also played an important role in getting South Africa victory in this match. Along with this, he has also made a special record in the matter of captaincy. As captain, Temba Bavuma has played a total of 10 matches for South Africa so far, and has not lost a single match.

In the last cycle of the World Test Championship, Bavuma captained South Africa in a total of 10 matches and won 9, while one match was drawn. He has also become the first captain to have won an ICC trophy without losing a Test yet. Well, Bavuma made another special record in his name.

It is worth noting that in the WTC final, Bavuma scored 36 runs in the first innings and 66 runs in the second innings. The 147-run partnership for the third wicket between Bavuma and Aiden Markram (136) decided the direction of the match.

Also, as soon as Bavuma crossed the 30-run mark in the second innings, he became the second captain to score the most 30+ scores in Test cricket as a captain. Before Bavuma, England’s Ted Dexter has scored 30+ 11 times in Test cricket as a captain.
