Temba Bavuma aggressively celebrates in Kuldeep Yadav’s face after his dismissal in Guwahati Test
Kuldeep Yadav, the nightwatchman in the second innings, caused a huge stir with his defensive work rate in the first Indian innings; hence, the South African skipper, Temba Bavuma, looked elated on his dismissal on Day 5 of the Guwahati Test.
Having lost the Eden Gardens Test, India were desperate for a fightback in the second Test of the series against South Africa. However, Temba Bavuma and his men have shattered the hopes of millions of Indian fans.
Having set a mammoth target of 549 runs in front of the Indian batters, the Proteas had already rubbished their thought of winning this game and levelling the series. India could only save face by not losing the home series with a clean sweep.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Temba Bavuma mocks Kuldeep Yadav with savage celebration
India just had to play through the innings without having a go at the Proteas bowlers, since 549 never looked like a target worth chasing in a single day of the game. However, the Indian batters have even failed to retain their wickets.
Sai Sudharsan and Kuldeep Yadav, the two left-handers who batted for the third wicket partnership, went on to face nearly 100 balls between them but scored only a handful of runs. With an overly defensive attitude, Simon Harmer finally found the space to rattle Kuldeep Yadav’s stumps.
After the ball crashed into the wickets, Temba Bavuma, who himself was fielding in the silly mid-off region, leapt and celebrated with closed fists thrown up in the air.
