South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma recently spoke out against Australia for using the term 'chokers' during South Africa's batting innings in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Bavuma expressed his disappointment at the use of this derogatory word and emphasized the importance of their victory in dispelling doubts and uniting the nation.

After their triumph in the WTC final, Bavuma highlighted the significance of South Africa's win in lifting the profile of Test cricket in the country. Despite the lack of scheduled Test matches for the upcoming season, Bavuma expressed the team's desire to compete against top cricketing nations and promote the sport in South Africa.

Reflecting on the inspiration drawn from South Africa's successful rugby team, the Springboks, Bavuma emphasized the importance of embracing the country's unique identity and history. He praised the Springboks for their achievements and unity, expressing his team's aspirations to replicate their success and establish a legacy of consistent performance in Test cricket.

Looking ahead, Bavuma revealed his team's goal of emulating the success of past South African Test teams, particularly the squad led by former captain Graeme Smith. By setting a benchmark of three to four years for their performance evaluation, Bavuma aims to lead his team to sustained success and uphold the legacy of South African cricket.
