South Africa won the first Test against India at the Centurion venue. In just 3 days, the team crushed India and took a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series. Temba Bavuma captained South Africa in the Centurion Test. However, he was injured and left the field on the first day of the match, after which Dean Elgar took over the reins of captaincy. He led his team to victory. And as Temba Bavuma missed the Test series, there were reports that Dean Elgar will be the captain of South Africa in the second Test as well. The final Test of the series between India and South Africa will be held in Cape Town from January 3. Elgar will captain South Africa in that Test as well. It seems that the regular captain, who was injured while fielding in the Centurion Test, will take some time to recover. Bavuma was scanned after the injury and the condition appeared to be quite serious. With this, it seems that Dean Elgar will be the captain in the second and last Test against India.
Meanwhile, due to injury, there is excitement about Temba Bavuma playing in the South African T20 League. He represents Sunrisers Eastern Cape in this league. It seems that a decision on whether Bavuma will play here or not will be taken after the medical examination before the start of the tournament. After Temba Bavuma was dropped from the South African Test team, Dean Elgar was handed the captaincy. But Zubair Hamza will replace Bavuma in the team. 28-year-old Zubair Hamza made his Test debut against Pakistan in 2019. Played 6 Tests so far. He scored 212 runs including a half century. That too is on India. He scored this half century in the Test held at Ranchi last year.
