Cape Town, Jan 26 (TIWN) South Africa captain Temba Bavuma said winning the ODI series 3-0 against India means a lot for him as a player. He added that defeating a strong India side at home speaks volumes of his captaincy in white-ball cricket.

After losing the Centurion Test, South Africa made a stunning comeback to win the Test series 2-1. That winning juggernaut continued when the Proteas blanked India 3-0 with a four-run win on Sunday.

“For me, it means a lot as a player. Looking back at the series and knowing that I contributed significantly to the winning cause of the team, that makes it even more better. From a captaincy point of view, at the end of the day, you will always be judged on your record and to convincingly beat an Indian side, with players of their calibre and pedigree, that speaks a lot to my captaincy,” said Bavuma while replying to a question from IANS in a virtual press conference. 

“But things are still early within my career, from a leadership point of view. I will take the positives and acknowledge them but I will try very hard not to get ahead of myself,” added Bavuma.
