South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has gone viral for seemingly 'falling asleep' at the Captains' Day event ahead of World Cup 2023.
All 10 captains of the participating teams at the ICC Men's World Cup 2023 scheduled to commence on Thursday attended the Captains' Day event in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
However, South African skipper Temba Bavuma became the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons after a picture of him seemingly 'falling asleep' during the meetup went viral on social media.
Social media users have given mixed reactions to the viral picture as some noted that the question-answer session was too much India-Pakistan centric.
It must be noted that the Proteas will begin their World Cup campaign on a high note after defeating Australia 3-2 in a five-match ODI series at home.
The mega event will commence on October 5 with England taking on New Zealand in the opening match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Hyderabad.
