South Africa white-ball skipper Temba Bavuma believes that the upcoming ODI series against India would give his team a lot of confidence. He said that his main focus will be in sticking to the Proteas style.
After South Africa won the three-match Test series 2-1, the focus shifts to the ODI series starting from January 19 in Paarl.
“We will have to get things right in the next ODI series against India. I’m not too worried about what happened in that 2018 series. I’m more concerned about establishing our own style of play and implementing our strategy to good effect. A ODI series win against India would give us a helluva lot of confidence, and some momentum ahead of the games to follow,” Bavuma was quoted as saying by ‘Daily Maverick’.
“Then we start to win consistently. Since the beginning of the West Indies series last June, we’ve won 13 out 16 T20s. It’s something we want to replicate across the formats. If we bring the same energy to our ODI approach, we will build more confidence and momentum, and the big results will come.”
The three-match ODI series will commence from January 19.
