Guwahati, Nov 21
South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said his side will play in a ruthless way in the second Test against India, starting at the Barsapara Stadium on Saturday, and look to seize every opportunity in their quest to get a 2-0 series win.
South Africa defeated India by 30 runs in a low‑scoring contest at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, to take a 1‑0 lead in the two‑match series and extend their impressive run since winning the World Test Championship in June. The result also marked the Proteas’ first Test victory in India in 15 years.
“So think of all the fundamentals that come with playing in the subcontinent. First innings becomes crucial from a batting point of view to really set the game up. And your spinners, in our case, Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer, supported by Aiden, (Markram) have them come into the game within the second or later half of the game,” he concluded
