Aiden Markram
South Africa was unlucky after being eliminated even after winning 4 out of 5 matches in the group stage. They were knocked out on the net-run-rate parameter. Aiden Markram was the standout performer for the team in this world cup edition. The South African middle-order explosive batsman scored 162 runs in 5 innings with a good average of 54.
Aiden played for Punjab Kings in IPL 2021 and could not provide a valuable contribution. However, we expect the franchises to go all guns blazing for Aiden Markram, given his excellent performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
