'Completely Unexpected': Markram Recalls Getting SA Captaincy Early In Career
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Aiden Markram is all set to lead South Africa team that is "definitely hungry" to get that first T20 World Cup trophy. On the eve of their opening encounter of the showpiece event, the 29-year-old reflected on his first game as Proteas captain and admitted that it was "completely unexpected" for him.
Markram was only 23 when he was tasked with the captaincy of South Africa in the second game of the six-match home ODI series against India in 2018. The side went on to lose 5-1 against Virat Kohli-led India.
Markram talked about how he does not have any regrets about that series and said he was grateful for the opportunity. "I'd never regret taking captaincy for your national team. At the moment it was obviously not the best series for us as a team, but if you look at it in hindsight, that's why I'm grateful, because I was able to learn," Markram said to Star Sports.
