South Africa batter Aiden Markram ruled out of remainder of T20I series against India

Aiden Markram was on Wednesday officially ruled out of the remaining two T20Is against India having already missed the first three games after testing positive for Covid-19 before the opening match in Delhi. Markram, who tested positive after the first couple of practice sessions, will not be able to return to the competitive arena post mandatory isolation period. "Proteas batsman, Aiden Markram, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Proteas' tour of India. He spent seven days in quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 last week and will not be able to complete his return to play programme in time to take part in the remainder of the T20 series," a Cricket South Africa statement said.

Markram ruled out of remaining T20 fixtures against India, De Kock on the mend

India vs South Africa, 3rd T20I, South Africa Predicted XI: Will Quinton de Kock Be Back?

South Africa have played exceptionally well in the ongoing T20I series against India and this is the main reason, behind them standing on the cusp of registering a series victory. If the Proteas are able to win the third T20I, they will gain an unassailable 3-0 lead. So far, the Proteas have chased down totals of 212 and 149 and they have fully capitalised on winning the toss. It would be interesting to see whether Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram would be back for this game or not.

"Last Time I Got Excited At Seeing An Indian Was Sachin Tendulkar": Sunil Gavaskar Gives Ultimate Compliment to Young Pacer

Despite several youngsters being picked in the squad for the T20I series against South Africa, the Indian cricket team management went with an unchanged XI for the second T20I in Cuttack on Sunday, after going down in the first T20I. Their fortune also remained the same as India slumped to a loss yet again to trail 0-2 in the five-match series. After the defeat, former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar gave his take on the changes that India might bring in starting from third T20I. Youngsters like Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik and Gavaskar had an interesting take on the latter.

India vs South Africa: Shreyas Iyer defends batting order - 'Axar Patel sent ahead of Dinesh Karthik to rotate strike'

Axar Patel ahead of India's 'designated finisher' Dinesh Karthik in the second T20 against South Africa but top-order batter Shreyas Iyer defended the strategy, saying the need of the hour was to "rotate strike". India were struggling to get going and were 112/6 when Axar Patel got out in the 17th over, and it was mainly due to the veteran Karthik's cameo while batting at No. 7 that they could post a respectable 148/6. "It's something we had strategised earlier as well. We had seven overs left when Axar went in, and he's someone who can take the singles and keep rotating the strike," Shreyas said at the post-match media interaction on Sunday.
