South African skipper Temba Bavuma had to face constant humiliation for his short height as a cricketer. This time, legendary Indian player-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri took a sly dig at Bavuma, comparing his shoe size with that of Simon Harmer at the non-striker's end.
India defeated the South Africans in the first Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, and Simon Harmer remained the finest bowler on show for the Proteas. The off-spinner stunned all with his performance at the Eden Gardens track, which offered immense help to the spinners.
Harmer is a true legend of Proteas domestic cricket, as he has picked 1000 First-class wickets in 235 games. In first-class cricket, he has also scored 6500 runs with two centuries and 33 half-centuries to his name. He helped South Africa to a win with a stunning 8/51 spell across the two innings in Kolkata.
