Temba Bavuma: Temba Bavuma is one such South African player whose performance has not been anything special for the team but he has been made the captain of the team. He was also the captain of the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 hosted by India but his form was very poor.

In such a situation, before playing the T20 series against India, the South African Cricket Board has announced its 16-member team and once again Temba Bavuma has been appointed the captain of the team.
