Many cricketers aspire to play in the IPL and Temba Bavuma is also one of them. Bavuma revealed that he wants to captain an IPL side in the future.Â
"I would like to play there. The stronger my performances, the more realistic the opportunity becomes. I've also developed this fantasy of captaining a team. I don't know where that comes from. I'd like to get that experience as well. But I kinda need to get into a team before that happens!" Bavuma told Cricket Monthly.
South Africa have arrived in India with their full-strength squad as they gear up for the series. Many South African cricketers participated in the IPL and were impressive with their performances.

"It's nice to see some of our guys doing well. KG (Kagiso Rabada) is en route to being the quickest to 100 wickets. That's something to be proud of. And Marco Jansen -- how he has gone and performed. Or Aiden (Markram)," he explained.
"And even the younger guys who have showed their ability. There is a lot of talk about Dewald Brevis. He is an exciting prospect for our cricket. And Tristan Stubbs, getting a go. It's been nice to see those guys."
