David Bedingham who made his Test debut in the IND vs SA 1st Test has slammed a fine fifty to keep South Africa in the driver’s position. Accompanying Dean Elgar who has hammered a ton, Bedingham continued to rotate strikes and poor punish balls to slam a 80 ball fifty for the Proteas.
David Bedingham who is making his Test debut for South Africa is an able batter. The 29-year old batter is reliable and is known for his deft touch and classy shots. He slammed 6 fours and 2 big sixes to reach his fifty.
While India is known for boasting a formidable bowling attack, Bedingham initially absorbed the pressure and allowed Elgar to play the big shots. Gaining courage with every passing minute, Bedingham then took matters into his own hands to switch gears and find his rhythm.
Mohammed Siraj ultimately bowled David Bedingham but the damage for India was done. The batter departed after scoring a gritty 56-run knock as South Africa looks comfortable in the IND vs SA 1st Test.
Bedingham has played 81 First class matches where he managed to amass a huge score of 5,716 runs. With 18 first class tons and a highest score of 257, the batter has a good average of above 50.
Despite a short youth career, Bedingham has a lot to boast for. He has played just 2 youth Test matches where he managed 164 runs from 2 matches that includes a century.
In terms of Youth ODI matches, Bedingham’s stats aren’t that impressive. He has played 5 youth ODI matches where he has raked up 105 runs from 4 innings.
