Temba Bavuma became the first black African to score a Test century for South Africa in 2016
"Being the first of a lot of things comes with misunderstanding at times, and criticism," says Temba Bavuma, in a gentle tone.
South Africa's first black African captain is preparing to take on Australia in this week's ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's.
While the Proteas achieved number one in the world Test rankings in 2012, beating the defending champions in a showpiece final would be the country's most significant cricketing achievement.
Few people tip South Africa to win, but 35-year-old Bavuma is used to dealing with adversity.
