Partnerships With Bosch And Jansen Gave Us The Impetus: Bavuma
South Africa: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma credited the lower-order partnerships with Corbin Bosch and Marco Jansen for providing the crucial momentum in their 30-run victory over India in the first Test at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Defending a modest target of 124, South Africa bowled out India for 93 to take a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Skipper Bavuma’s fighting 55 not out on a challenging batting pitch and his handy 44-run stand with Bosch, following a brief 16-run stand with Jansen, took South Africa’s lead to 123, which was enough to give them a Test win in India after 15 years.
“Very exciting. You want to be a part of those types of games and obviously be on the right side of the result. I think we tried to hold our ground as much as we could. We knew it was going to be tough with the bat, it was tough for us, but we needed to exploit what was there. I think we guys did that beautifully.
