On his retirement from T20, Kohli said- Now it is time for the next generation to take over. It is a two-year cycle, till the next T20 World Cup and India has some amazing players playing. They will take the team forward in the T20 format and do wonders, as we have seen them do in the IPL. I have no doubt that they will keep the Indian flag flying high and take the team forward from here.

When you see another spinner taking wickets in the match, your confidence automatically increases. On the other hand, if we tell you about the performance of Aiden Markram in the ongoing T20 World Cup, he has bowled a total of 8 overs, in which he has taken 2 wickets while conceding runs at a modest average of 6.62.

The team batted first and scored 115 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Nepal needed 2 runs on the last ball to win, if the team had managed to take even one run, a super over would have been played. But Gulshan Jha got run out and the team had to face defeat. This defeat will hurt the Nepal team for many years. A major reason for Nepal’s defeat is the four overs bowled by South African spinner Tabrez Shamsi, in which he took four big wickets. If these wickets had not fallen, Nepal would have easily chased the run chase. Tabrez Shamsi has also won the Player of the Match title for his brilliant performance in the match.

This is a great thing to end the tournament on. Spin bowlers get help on the tracks of West Indies, which was seen today in the bowling of Tabrez Shamsi. Shamsi believes that the fast bowlers performed brilliantly in New York, but now the spinners need to fulfill their responsibility. Talking further, Shamsi said, ‘Our fast bowlers performed brilliantly in New York but our slower bowlers will have to take the responsibility now. After the win against Nepal, South Africa has topped the Group-D points table with four wins and 8 points from four matches. The team will play its first match in the Super-8 round on June 21. Like the group stage, the team will want to show a great game in this round as well.
