Temba Bavuma and Dean Elgar have skippered the Proteas to a memorable summer series win over India in the ODI and Test arena, a fine achievement we can be proud of. They are a leadership duet for the ages, one we should treasure.
There are some duets that outlast the test of time: Muhammad Ali and his trainer, Angelo Dundee, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, the Bryan brothers, the Brownlee brothers, Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha, Womack & Womack, Sharky & George, gin & tonic … the list goes on.
Proteas captains Temba Bavuma and Dean Elgar, early as they are in their respective limited-overs and Test reigns, could enter the stratosphere of the aforementioned duos.
