Cricket fans often overlooked Temba Bavuma because of his height, overlooking his leadership skills, which helped the team win the Test Mace in the previous edition of the World Test Championship (WTC). Maintaining the same tempo, the Proteas are looking solid enough to qualify for another WTC final in back-to-back cycles.
Temba Bavuma has been playing a major role behind the emergence of the South African National Cricket Team in the longest format of the game. Bavuma may not be among those flamboyant personalities on the cricket ground, but his individual performance and the team's performance are evidence of the 36-year-old's influence over the team.
Allan Donald explains Temba Bavuma as a leader
"I don’t know if anybody noticed, but straight after the game, during the trophy presentation, he immediately gave the trophy to Simon Harmer. And that’s Temba. Temba doesn’t want to be seen in the front row, doesn't want to be seen as the guy who's going to lift the trophy. He's not going to make any noise. He's not going to be shouting his mouth off. He is a very quiet man," Allan Donald said in the interview.
A quiet little warrior: Allan Donald on Temba Bavuma
"You can just tell that he’s the national team’s Test captain. He speaks with authority, but he’s not a guy who wants to be a dominant figure. He’s gone quietly about his business and been chipping away. The hundred he scored the other day was fantastic. It was one of the best knocks I’ve seen being played at Port Elizabeth in a long time. Under immense pressure, he delivered and led from the front. He’s known as a quiet little warrior in South Africa," Allan Donald opined.
