South Africa coach Shukri Conrad hailed captain Temba Bavuma as one of the best batters in the world over the past two years after his gutsy match-winning innings at Eden Gardens secured a 30-run win in the first test against hosts India .
Bavuma remains unbeaten in his 11 tests as skipper, winning 10 of them to go with a draw, and in that period has averaged 57.00 with the bat.
His unbeaten 55 on a treacherous wicket in the second innings on Sunday helped his side set a modest victory target of 124 for their hosts, who were bowled out for 93.
