Temba Bavuma slams maiden Test ton against England on Day 4

New Delhi: South African batsman Temba Bavuma on Tuesday slammed his maiden Test hundred against England on the 4th day of the 2nd Test at Newlands.

The 25-year-old used mere 141 balls to reach the three-figure mark, laced with 16 boundaries.

The right-hander reached his hundred with the help of a thick edge, which flew wide of the slips off speedster Steven Finn.

His father was also presented in the stadium when Bavuma reached the landmark and looked a bit emotional.

Former cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Michael Vaughan congratulated the cricketer to achieve the feat.

Very happy for Temba Bavuma, a classical test batsman in 2016. Not a common sight these days. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) January 5, 2016
