Aiden Markram remains coy about bowling plans vs Virat Kohli

Bridgetown [Barbados]: Ahead of the much-awaited ICC T20 World Cup 2024 final against India at the Kensington Oval on Saturday, South Africa skipper Aiden Markram shared his thoughts on former India skipper Virat Kohli’s poor performance in the ongoing marquee event.

Ahead of the clash between the two unbeaten sides of the tournament, India and South Africa, the Proteas cricketer asserted that the 36-year-old is a great player and cricket is a game of ups and downs.

“I don’t think it worries me. He’s a great player, as we all know. But they’ve got their whole batting unit full of great players. And cricket’s a game of ups and downs. You’re not always going to do well, especially as a batter. So, we just do our planning, do our preparation from a meeting point of view for planning towards those batters and hopefully on the day we can get that right,” Markram said in the pre-match press conference.
