'It’s Not The Size Of Man In The Fight...' Jaffer Hails Bavuma's Fighting Fifty In Kolkata Test
Kolkata Test: Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer praised South Africa’s captain Temba Bavuma, who exhibited great calm and skill at Eden Gardens. While the rest of his team struggled on the third morning of the Kolkata Test, Bavuma remained steady and played a composed innings of 55 not out, marking the first half-century of the ongoing match. It was his seventh fifty-plus score in his last 11 Tests.
The Proteas skipper and Bosch helped extend the visitors’ lead from 63 to 123 through a crucial 44-run partnership on a difficult pitch, as India have been set a target of 124 runs to win the first Test at Eden Gardens after bowling out the visitors for 153 in 54 overs in the first session on Day 3.
"On a pitch where no other batter reached 40 in three inns, this man has given his team a fighting chance with 55*. It’s not the size of man in the fight, but the size of fight in the man. Well played," Jaffer shared on X.
