South Africa skipper Bavuma after historic World Test Championship win

South Africa’s World Test Championship winning captain Temba Bavuma said his team never let the outside voice bother them as they went on to beat Australia in the final of the WTC 2023-25 cycle to win their first ICC trophy after 27 years. Bavuma said the “chokers tag was not theirs to carry”, even if the opposition referred to them with this tag.

“As much as the Aussies were saying we were chokers in the field, we never made it our thing. We just said we’ve got to keep going and be relentless, and the harder we knock, the doors will open. Chokers was not our tag to carry, we never spoke about it, although you always feel a responsibility when you wear the badge,” said Bavuma at the Cricket South Africa headquarters, where his side were given an official welcome.
