South African Test captain, Temba Bavuma, has articulated confidence regarding the team's prospects in the upcoming two-Test series against India. Bavuma, who holds the distinction of being South Africa's first full-time black captain and whose name means "hope" in Xhosa, noted the team's recent form, including an 8-wicket victory against Pakistan that leveled a series, achieved during his absence due to injury. He acknowledged the historical challenge of winning a Test series in India, viewing it as a "massive opportunity" for his squad, which arrives fresh from playing two Tests in Pakistan. Bavuma also referenced the "big target" on the team and expectations stemming from their perceived status.
