Temba Bavuma IND vs SA: In a massive news update, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma is not playing the today’s fifth and final T20I match against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

IND vs SA: Why is Temba Bavuma Not Playing Today? Who is SA Captain?

In a huge blow, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma injured his left elbow while diving for a single and getting hit on the arm a few times during the fourth T20I game against India on Friday. He was forced to get retired out after scoring 8 runs and could not return as South Africa ended up losing the match by a convincing margin of 82 runs. Bavuma was seen wearing a sling on his left arm while sitting in the dressing room and the same injury issue has kept him out for the crucial series decider against India in Bengaluru.

In the absence of Temba Bavuma, Keshav Maharaj will be the captain for South Africa in this fifth and final T20I encounter against India. South Africa skipper Keshav Maharaj won the toss and opted to bowl first.
