Travis Head Did It First, But Bavuma Had the Last Laugh
Travis Head posted a hilarious story after Australia had won the first Test match against South Africa. Following this, it seems that Bavuma took things way too seriously. He went on to smash 179 runs for the team, putting the Proteas in a strong position.
The second test match between South Africa and Australia will be remembered for the revenge taken by Temba Bavuma. When South Africa lost the first Test, it was the first Test loss as a captain for Temba Bavuma, as various memes came for the same.
Following this match, Travis Head posted a story on his Instagram handle. The reel had a meme of Temba Bavuma who was devastated after the loss in the first game. This even reminded fans of the 2018 series, when a controversy erupted between the two teams to lead to the sandpapergate scandal.
But Temba Bavuma decided to reply to the story which has been posted by Head a few days back. He went on to score 179 runs for the team, and it also came at a time when the team faced an early collapse.
