IND vs SA 1st Test: South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma reflects on his unbeaten 55-run knock

Bavuma celebrates his 50

South African captain Temba Bavuma on Sunday said his game is built around an unshakeable defence, which stood him in good stead on a disintegrating Eden Gardens track, where 38 wickets fell inside eight sessions.

On his comeback from a five-month calf injury, the South African skipper's composure stood out as he led his side to a remarkable 30-run win over India in the opening Test.

"Look, I'm a guy who always backs my defence. I think my game is that simple. I try to play around my defence," said Bavuma who made a second innings 55 not out.
