Bavuma found it challenging to stay awake during the event and ended up taking a short nap between the questions. This happened during a special program called the Captains’ show, which was arranged in place of the planned opening ceremony for the World Cup.

Instead of the grand opening ceremony that was originally planned, the Board of Control for Cricket in India decided to hold this unique event. The purpose of the Captains’ show was to introduce the captains of various participating teams in the World Cup. This way, cricket fans could get to know the leaders of their favorite teams up close and personal.
South Africa’s journey in the World Cup is set to kick off with a match against Sri Lanka. This game will be the fourth match of the tournament and is scheduled to take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on 7th October 2023.

This event replaced the canceled opening ceremony and allowed cricket enthusiasts to connect with their team’s captain before the exciting competition begins. South Africa’s first match against Sri Lanka will be a significant moment in their World Cup campaign.
