‘It will be better if Rohit and Virat are not in T20’
South African captain Aiden Markram was present at the press conference before the T20 match in Cuttack. Referring to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, he said, “It’s a good thing that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are not part of the T20 team. Still, India is still a good team.” The absence of both the star players from the T20 series will undoubtedly boost South Africa’s confidence. However, it is also absolutely true that India’s current T20 squad is also very strong and it will be difficult for South Africa to beat them.
