IND vs SA: Temba Bavuma taken for scans, unlikely to take further part in Day 1’s play

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has been taken for scans after he injured his hamstring while fielding during the first day of IND vs SA 1st Test. The Proteas opener is unlikely to take further part in opening day’s play.

Bavuma suffered the injury in the 20th over when he was chasing the ball from mid-off. The Proteas’ skipper managed to stop the ball but damaged his hamstring while running. He was then escorted out of the field with the help of team’s physio.

Former South Africa Test skipper Dean Elgar took over as captain after Bavuma’s injury. It is important to note that the Bavuma will not be allowed a runner due to ICC’s revised law.

Talking about the game, South Africa are in complete control against India on Day 1. Kagiso Rabada wrecked havoc as his 4-wicket haul has reduced the visitors to 121/6.
