Top 5 No. 6 South African Test batsmen of all time

South Africa v Bangladesh - Day 3

#4 Temba Bavuma

England v South Africa - 3rd Investec Test: Day Three

Temba Bavuma in just 27 Test matches has pushed himself to occupy the number four position in the highest run-getters list at number 6 for South Africa.

Having made his debut against West Indies in 2014, the youngster has played a majority of his matches at the number 6 spot. Though he averages just 30.38 here, which is much lower than his Test average of 33.13, his only hundred was notched up when he gritted it out with Chris Morris against England at number 6.

With 5 of his 9 half-centuries scored in the middle-order, the player, whose game relies more on finesse rather than on power, has been able to make his mark in a crucial position in the batting line-up.
