What do you think was the main factor of South Africa’s success in the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship?
His performance was almost impressive. South Africa won a breakthrough series in Bangladesh, the first in Asia in ten years. Despite losing New Zealand 2–0, with a squad, he overturned with a 1–0 win in the West Indies. He then won all the six remaining tests to qualify for the final, climbing above the seventh in the table.
Bavuma’s captaincy was decisive. He now holds records for the first 10 tests as Captains (9) in the first 10 tests, matches the Percy Chapman of England. As a batsman, Bavuma scored 711 runs in 13 innings at an average of 59.30, second among batsmen with only five or more innings. His partnership scored 60.35 runs, which is the highest of any batsman with 10+ stands.The speed attack under the leadership of Cagiso Rabada (56 wickets at 18.73) was unmatched. South African pacers had the best average of any team of this cycle (23.75) and strike rate (41.9). Rabada’s five four-wicket halls topped their charts.South Africa also displayed the depth of the extraordinary squad.-15 players scored hundreds of runs or scored four forces, and nine different players-K-Match winners highlighted their all-round dominance. Wicketkeeper Kail Veren, who scored the winning run in the final, contributed three centuries.
In every sense, it was a complete and collective victory – a bavuma was led from the front, but was operated by a team that was only at the right time at the right time.
