Proteas coach Mark Boucher said the Covid-19 enforced absence of Aiden Markram wreaked havoc with their India T20 series plans.
South Africa head coach Mark Boucher termed India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar's performance in the series as “special” while ruing the absence of Aiden Markram, who he feels could have made a lot of difference for the Proteas over the course of the five T20Is. Bhuvneshwar, who now only plays white-ball cricket, got six wickets in four completed games and gave away only 85 runs in 14 overs at an economy rate that was just a shade above six runs per over.

He put us under pressure in Powerplays and barring one game (Delhi), where we got off to a good start, they have dominated us with both ball and bat in Powerplays," Boucher said after the series ended in 2-2 despite Proteas going 2-0 up at the onset.
