South African cricket team’s Test and ODI captain, Temba Bavuma, is returning to the field. Bavuma, who led South Africa to their first World Test Championship title in June, had been on a break since that final. Now, he is once again taking command of the team, and Australia is their opponent. However, even before stepping onto the field, Temba Bavuma has become the topic of discussion, and the reason is a photo that has made cricket fans remember Shah Rukh Khan.
The 3-match ODI series between Australia and South Africa will begin on Tuesday, August 19. The series will kick off in Cairns, where the last match of the T20 series between the two teams was played. A day before the series began, the trophy was launched, and Australian captain Mitchell Marsh and South African captain Temba Bavuma were present for this. A special photo shoot was done with the trophy, and one photo from it became the most hit.
In this photo taken by the blue sea, Temba Bavuma is standing in his green South African jersey, with the trophy in front of him. He has spread his arms, and this very style of his has become a hit on social media. Mitchell Marsh is also in this photo with Bavuma, and he has also spread his arms. Seeing both captains in this manner, cricket fans started remembering Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Fans are calling Bavuma and Marsh’s style an inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan’s famous pose.
Bavuma and Marsh are probably unaware of this, as their focus will be on winning the series. The two teams are clashing in the ODI format after almost 2 years. Earlier, Australia and South Africa had a match in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2023, and in that thrilling match, Australia won and secured a place in the final and then also won the title. Also, before this series, a T20 series was also played between the two, which was won by the host Australia. In such a situation, Bavuma will try to settle some scores by winning the ODI series for his team.
