David Bedingham made a strong-willed comeback in cricket after a car accident in 2016, impressively playing for Durham and later making his Test debut against India. He expressed his excitement for playing his first Test at Newlands, his home ground, and spoke about his dream to score a century there. Bedingham was influenced by players such as Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, and was particularly nervous during his debut.
