Temba Bavuma received the player of the match award for his second innings 172, which led South Africa to a dominant 284-run win in the second Test against West Indies and helped to complete a series whitewash.

For Bavuma, South Africa’s newly-appointed Test captain, it was the second Test century of his career, and ended a drought of more than seven years since his first.

After a number of near misses, the innings felt like a moment of relief with Bavuma looking to get his captaincy tenure off to the best possible start.
