The Indian team turned the match around in the last few overs and won by a close margin. In that match, South Africa remained in the match for 15 overs, but the Indian bowlers made a tremendous comeback in the next 5 overs. Captain Aiden Markram looked disappointed with this defeat? Recently, Markram has given a statement about that defeat and said that earlier it was difficult to digest the defeat, but now it is easy. In a press conference on Tuesday, Aiden Markram was asked a question related to the T20 World Cup. According to Cricbuzz, Markram said, “I should give it (defeat) as much time as it needs. It was very difficult to digest at that time. Certainly from then to now, it’s gotten a little better to handle. It’s easier to deal with and deal with it now.” The final of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played in Barbados on 29 June. South Africa had never played a World Cup final before and in their very first final, they came close to winning and missed out. I was able to take some time to get away from the game, get away from cricket talks- Aiden Markram South African veteran cricketer Aiden Markram further said, “The good thing is that I was able to take some time away from the game, away from cricket talks. It was good to be away from the game and reset myself. Everyone processes it in their own way. Probably the most important thing is to make sure that you are at peace during this time with how it all ended. So that you can move on and keep moving forward.” Let us tell you that the South African team will play a series of three T20 International matches against the host West Indies in Trinidad from Friday to Tuesday.
