The captain who was trolled the most and made millions of memes, is proudly sitting at the top… The veterans are worried.

New Delhi. Which captain was trolled the most in the cricket world in 2024? On which player were most memes made? You probably won’t have to rack your brains to find the answer to this. If you give yourself even a little time, you will remember the pictures of Temba Bavuma. She is always made fun of on social media because of her short height. Objectionable things are often written by sharing his/her picture with players like Marco Jansen. But what an amazing coincidence that under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, South Africa is sitting on the top of the WTC points table. It is almost certain that he/she will play the finals and the other giants are busy in the struggle.

Africa lost only one match in WTC 2023-25
The South African team is at first place in the WTC points table with 63.33 percent points. Now he/she has to play only two Tests in the WTC 2023-25 ​​cycle. By winning even one of these matches, it will qualify for the final. The South African team, playing under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, has played 11 matches in the current cycle, out of which it has won 7. One match has been a draw, while it has faced defeat in 4.

Bavuma played innings of 70, 113, 78 and 66 runs in the Test series against Sri Lanka that ended a day earlier. The African team won this series 2-0.

Bavuma took responsibility on the retirement of veterans
34 year old Temba Bavuma has been playing Test cricket for 10 years. Bavuma, who debuted in 2014, has scored 3429 runs in 61 test matches at an average of 37.27. It includes three centuries. At first glance, these figures of Temba Bavuma do not impress much. But those who know South African cricket also know that their batting has been shaky for the last few years. AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, Quinton de Kock either retired early or left Test cricket. This suddenly put pressure on batsmen like Bavuma. Anyway, the real strength of this team is bowling, not batting.

Temba Bavuma is a proper test batsman. he/she takes time to settle down at the crease and once he/she sets his/her sights, he/she bats for a long time. his/her figures are good in ODI also. he/she has scored 1611 runs in 42 ODI matches at an average of 44.75. However, he/she does not live up to expectations in the T20I format. he/she has played 26 T20I matches, in which his/her average is 21.61 and strike rate is 118.16.

Due to the slow strike rate in T20 cricket, he/she did not find a buyer in the South Africa T20 League. Due to this also Bavuma was trolled a lot. But Temba Bavuma, oblivious of the world of trolls, is taking his/her team to heights that have never happened before. There is every possibility that South Africa will play the WTC final and if it happens, it will be for the first time.
