When Bavuma opted to bowl, some doubted the call - but he and his team have proved all the doubters wrong. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra too felt that Bavuma did not get the call right initially. 

‘South Africa ne galti kar dee'

"Lagta hai South Africa ne galti kar dee hai…winning the toss and bowl first isn’t the ideal thing to do, me feels," Chopra tweeted. 

Here are some of the fans reactions that followed the tweet:
