South Africa National Cricket Team captain Temba Bavuma has finally addressed the controversial Eden Gardens episode that overshadowed an otherwise historic Test match last month. The opening Test between India and South Africa ended dramatically inside three days, with the Proteas sealing their first Test victory in India after 14 years.
However, the first Test between India and South Africa will be remembered for the controversial episode involving Temba Bavuma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant. During the game, stump mic audio picked up comments from Bumrah and Pant that were widely criticized for mocking Bavuma's height.
What Did Temba Bavuma Say About the Eden Gardens Row?They called the Proteas captain "Bauna dwarf," and that remark sparked massive backlash, and later the head coach, Shukri Conrad, justified his "grovel" remark on India while citing Pant and Bumrah's remark on Bavuma following their historic 2-0 whitewash in Guwahati.
