The Indian team will play a series of 3 T20 matches against South Africa. The first game of this series will be played on September 28, but before that, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma made a special trip with the players from his team. During this, the head coach of the South African team was Mark Boucher. Indeed, South Africa captain Bavuma and head coach Mark Boucher described this tour as important for South Africa. South Africa captain Bavuma and head coach Mark Boucher, along with the rest of the team, went to the Robben Island Museum.
Significantly, the late South African President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years at the Robben Island Museum. Before leaving for India, South Africa captain Bavuma said the trip to Robben Island was an inspiration to many of us in the team. The last time I went there I think I was about eight years old, so I didn’t remember much. He further said that this was a new experience for me, as well as definitely strengthened the spirit of achieving the goal for me.
South Africa captain Bavuma said the last few months have not been easy in terms of injuries, it was definitely disappointing. He said going through that phase I didn’t really know when I was going to recover from the elbow. Captain Bavuma says that mentally it was not easy. It should be noted that the first match against India and South Africa will be played on September 28 in Thiruvananthapuram. Captain Bavuma was actually out of the England tour due to an elbow injury, but is now returning from the series against India.
