India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Speaking after winning the toss, SA captain Bavuma said, "We'll have a bat. We got to start afresh. Wicket looks a lot better. Bat first, try to get a big score first up. No cracks (on the pitch) really. Very excited, happy to be a part of this historic moment. One change. Muthusamy comes in."

Meanwhile, Pant said, “Definitely a proud moment. As a cricketer, you always aspire to lead your country. And I'm thankful to the BCCI for giving me this opportunity. Didn't think about it, but at the same time, you want to grab it with both hands and do the best for the team. The environment is like. focus on yourself. Look at the area where we can improve as a team and just come together and fight each and every moment. We feel the wicket is good for batting. But at the same time, bowling first is not a bad option either. Shubman is getting well slowly, slowly. He was very eager to play the match. But at the same time, his body didn't allow it. He's going to come back stronger. Instead of Shubman, Nitish Reddy comes in. And for Axar, Sai Sudharsan comes in.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Bavuma was key for SA in the first Test. Speaking ahead of the 2nd Test, he said, “I think that the toss doesn't become too big a factor compared to what probably Kolkata was like. But in saying that, you know what, you want to win the toss, you know the advantage of batting on Day 1, Day 2, so I think that still becomes an advantage, but not such a deciding factor.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Bavuma is the fastest player to bag 10 Test wins as skipper, in only 11 matches. His only miss was the rain-affected draw vs West Indies last year.

Pant will serve as the stand-in skipper, due to Gill's absence.

"I want to be someone who gives that freedom [to players] and I want players to learn and make the right decision for the team eventually. That's the real goal and obviously whatever my knowledge is, I am going to help them on the field [with it]," he said, ahead of the match.
