South Africa captain Temba Bavuma elected to bat after winning the toss in the second test against India in Guwahati on Saturday.

South Africa, who are 1-0 ahead in the two-test series, replaced seamer Corbin Bosch with spinner Senuran Muthusamy in the lone change to their squad.

"The wicket looks a lot better," said Bavuma, whose team won the opening test inside three days in Kolkata. "No cracks really, pitch looks consistent.

"We'll try to get a good score first up and play the game from there."
