Temba Bavuma, the captain of the South African cricket team, confessed that the temperature in Delhi, where the first T20I between his side and India will be contested, is hotter than he had imagined.
The first Twenty20 International between India and South Africa begins in Delhi, India. Despite the fact that the encounter is a T20 match scheduled to begin in the evening, the city’s harsh weather cannot be overlooked. With temperatures far above 40 degrees Celsius.
In an interview with the media prior to the first T20I, Bavuma remarked that his team have already been consuming more water than beer back home to stay hydrated in these extreme temperatures.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Bavuma observed, “We predicted it to be hot, but maybe not that hot.” “We’re lucky that the matches are held at night when the weather is cooler. During the day, the boys attempt to take care of themselves as much as possible, consuming a lot more water than they would at home. They’re basically trying to stay as cognitively alert as possible.”
‘Cramping, hydration, and exhaustion are all serious challenges’: Temba Bavuma
With a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius in Cape Town, South Africa on Thursday, it’s safe to say that adjusting to such a difference will be difficult for the men of the Rainbow Nation.
“That’s something we’re not being used to at home,” Bavuma explained. “Cramping, dehydration, and fatigue are all major concerns. You could only get used to being by attempting to play in it.”
His suggestion to his players was to “hydrate yourself as much as possible, manage your energies as much as possible, and attempt to recover as much as possible in and around the games.” Because there’s a contest to be won, hot or cold: “Once you’re in the game, you’ve ended up getting to try to stay in the contest, and let’s hope your body keeps it up with everything.”
The forecast predicts a high of 43 degrees Celsius in Delhi when the two teams take the field at 7 p.m. on Thursday, with a high of 47 expected during the day.
