Napping during Captain's Day

Before the 2023 ODI World Cup, the captain's day event was organised on 4 October 2023 during which Temba Bavuma was seen sleeping with his head hanging down. Many fans speculated that the event was boring due to which Bavuma slept; however, he later tweeted that the misconception happened due to the camera angle, and he was not sleeping.
