On home soil, India defeated South Africa 2-1 in the ODI series, where Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli performed brilliantly with the bat. After this, the T20 team won the series 3-1 under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav.

Bavuma gave a big statement on Virat-Rohit

South African captain Temba Bavuma made a big statement and said that India’s strength in ODI cricket still remains, especially when experienced players like Rohit and Kohli are with the team. According to him, this strong performance can give time and confidence to Gautam Gambhir.

How will the pressure on the coach be reduced?

Right-handed batsman Bavuma believes that if these senior players remain with the team till the 2027 ODI World Cup, then they will naturally take the responsibility of performance and leadership in white-ball cricket. This will reduce the pressure on the coach to a great extent.

India is still successful in ODI-T20 cricket

The great Test captain of the Proteas team clearly said that India’s success in ODI and T20 formats shows that the foundation of the team is strong. The challenge is only to strike a balance in Test cricket, where young players will have to be prepared to shoulder the responsibility.

It is noteworthy that the Indian team recently had to face 0-2 defeat in the home Test series against South Africa. However, apart from the Test format, Team India dominated the visiting team in ODI and T20. After this, India had to face 1-2 defeat in the recently concluded ODI series against New Zealand.

At the same time, the Indian team is leading 3-1 in the current T20 series being played under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, South African captain Temba Bavuma has shared his opinion about the Indian team and its players.
