Shaun Pollock, a renowned former South African cricketer, has voiced strong admiration for his national team’s stellar performance in the ongoing Test series against India. The Proteas, under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, have showcased a remarkable level of dominance, winning the first Test convincingly and maintaining their superiority in the second. Approaching day four of the second Test, South Africa has established a commanding 314-run lead, poised to present India with a daunting run chase. Pollock commended the team’s outstanding execution and strategic acumen. “It’s all about points for the WTC now. Coming on this tour, if you said South Africa could walk away with 24 points on a tour of India, they would have jumped and bitten your hand off,” he remarked, underscoring the value of these crucial World Test Championship standings. Pollock emphasized South Africa’s sustained excellence in the Test format, highlighting their ability to achieve results in tough overseas environments. He posited that a successful series conclusion against India, followed by strong performances against Sri Lanka, would be a significant milestone for the team, especially in the wake of their previous World Test Championship final appearance.
