PROTEAS captain Temba Bavuma is the master of all he surveys and is fast etching his name into the annals of South African cricket history.

Having become the first South African captain in twenty-seven years to lift a global ICC trophy at Lord's a few months ago, when he guided his team to World Test Championship success, Bavuma has now masterminded the Proteas' 2-0 clean sweep of India after their mammoth 408-run victory in the second Test in Guwahati yesterday. It is the Proteas' first series win in India since the late Hansie Cronje's side triumphed 25 years ago at the turn of the millennium.

The journey to this summit has been challenging for Bavuma as the first black African Proteas captain, but the skipper can now bask in the glory of success.

"I think now I'm probably a lot more assured of myself as a person, as a captain, of what I'm trying to do out there," Bavuma said.
