About Temba Bavuma
Temba Bavuma isn't the most eye-catching batsman going around, but despite his limitations, he has grown into a useful Test player for South Africa. The diminutive right-hander possesses a solid defence and can be a tough cookie to dislodge.
Bavuma was mentored by Geoffrey Toyana - a former South Africa first-class cricketer - and made his first class debut for Gauteng in 2008. Just after three seasons, he was signed up by the Lions. He had a good second season and his consistent performances, led to him being made the vice captain of the team in 2013-14.
