Until New Zealand snapped India’s undefeated home record late last year, no touring nation had won a Test series in India in 12 years. Even then, South Africa’s challenge was steeper. India remains one of the sport’s strongest, best-balanced and most commercially valuable teams, and the expectations were unforgiving. Yet Bavuma’s men controlled the series from start to finish.
