Team India’s former opener Wasim Jaffer has come up with a bold statement on South African skipper Temba Bavuma.

Wasim Jaffer believes Temba Bavuma doesn’t deserve a place in the South Africa XI and is a part of the squad just because he is the captain.

Bavuma doesn’t deserve a place in the South African XI says, Jaffer

“If Temba Bavuma wasn’t the captain of South Africa then he wouldn’t have been in the team, because there’s Reeza Hendricks who is sitting outside, he has been in good form. Bavuma is obviously playing because he is the captain and he needs to come good,” Wasim Jaffer said on ‘BatBricks7 presents Run Ki Runneeti’ on CricTracker.

Jaffer believes Temba Bavuma needs to come good with the bat in the next few remaining games of the T20 World Cup in order to give a solid start to the South African team or else the pressure will keep mounting on him about his place in the squad.

Bavuma has been constantly questioned about his lean patch with the bat as there are explosive batters like Reeza Hendricks and Heinrich Klaasen in the squad who are not getting enough games. Bavuma’s constant failures have put the African batting order in trouble on multiple occasions and hence his place in the squad doesn’t look good to most analysts.

Temba Bavuma couldn’t score big in the first three games of the T20 World Cup while he was out of form in the T20 series against India that took place in the month of October just before the World Cup started. The Proteas skipper has played 32 T20Is in which he has just scored 615 runs despite being an opener that too with a mediocre strike rate of 116.7 and just one 50+ score.

South Africa is now placed in the second position in the Group-2 points table. The Proteas team has 5 points in the four games that they’ve played as they defeated India and Bangladesh while sharing points with Zimbabwe in a rain-affected game. They have to win their next game against the Netherlands in order to qualify for the semifinal stage of the World Cup.
