Temba Bavuma has become one of the leading lights in Test cricket leadership, joining an elite group by securing eight wins in his first nine matches as South Africa's captain. His impact has been nothing short of transformative since taking on the role for the Proteas.

In a commanding display during the Cape Town encounter, the 34-year-old led his side to a massive first innings score of 615, leaving Pakistan chasing shadows. A determined bowling attack saw Pakistan crumble to 194, paving the way for South Africa to impose the follow-on and seal a 2-0 series triumph.

Bavuma's eighth victory as captain aligns him with legendary figures like Warwick Armstrong of Australia. South Africa's dominance in Cape Town, notable as their seventh consecutive win in Tests, secures them top position in the standings, with limited preparation constraints ahead of the upcoming series finale.
