IND vs SA | Twitter reacts as proxy captain Temba Bavuma brings no change in luck for South Africa
BCCI
South Africa hasn’t been enjoying the favour of luck for a long time, and it isn’t just limited to the match results. The toss has been one major factor that has been denying any grace to captain Faf du Plessis, who in turn brought in Temba Bavuma at the toss to turn things around, but in vain.
After losing nine tosses in a row, South Africa captain Faf du Plessis had hinted, ahead of the third test, that he might bring in someone else to take up the Toss duties hoping to change their luck around.
Recently, Australia Women’s captain Meg Lanning had brought in Alyssa Healy as her toss substitute, stating that she hasn’t had a good series of luck at the toss and maybe bringing in a proxy would help the team.
Even Du Plessis decided to walk down the same road and called in Temba Bavuma to carry out the Toss duties at Ranchi. Bavuma made the call for the tail but it was "heads". Meanwhile, India captain Virat Kohli, who won the toss, burst into laughter at the scene and a hopeful Faf only got his heart broken one more time. Kohli chose to bat as a no-brainer.
Murali Kartik is a funny man!😂😂
Ye sahi hai...tails is the call by Bavuma. Tails it is and India wins the toss. India bats first 😂 https://t.co/vbmZ9yL1w3

The bad luck continues...
Proteas need to hire someone who can guide them in toss. Can't believe we can't win single toss in away matches

India 2-0 ahead in 3 test series but it’s not a dead rubber with world test championship on #INDvSA https://t.co/OoWeDbK1Ab
In a quest of not losing straight 10th toss in Asia, Faf Du Plesis walked in with a proxy captain Temba Bavuma along side him at the toss who is also their vice captain as well. But as they say, when your fate has been decided already there is nothing much you can do about it.

Hahahaha..
Amidst all that chaos at the toss, the most hilarious was Karthik nearly shouting Temba won the toss before Virat Kohli showing up in front of his face made him swallow his words.#INDvSA https://t.co/9p7cpmdE4L
