South African captain Temba Bavuma was given a standing ovation by the spectators at the Lord's Cricket Ground as he was walking back after getting out for 66 on day four of the World Test Championship (WTC) final. A video of the same surfaced on social media as the spectators stood up to applaud the Proteas' captain's knock.

Bavuma, who came on to bat at 68-2 on day three against Australia, struggled with his hamstring in the initial part of his innings. The right-handed batter received treatment for his hamstring but chose to stick around even as he found it difficult to run. By the end of the day, Bavuma had strung an unbroken 143-run partnership with Aiden Markram, who stayed unbeaten at 102. Nevertheless, Pat Cummins had got the better of him for 66 in his second over of the day.
