Skipper Aiden Markram Admits India "Completely Outplayed" South Africa In 4th T20I

Following a disappointing loss against India in the fourth T20I match of the series, South Africa skipper Aiden Markram admitted the Men in Blue "completely outplayed" the hosts in Johannesburg. India clinched a massive 135-run victory over South Africa in the fourth T20I match of the series, sealing a 3-1 series win. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Markram said that the Men in Blue dominated over the Proteas in all three aspects of the game. He also praised the Indian cricketers for their performance with both bat and ball.

The Proteas skipper accepted that India put India under pressure and it was tough for them to make a comeback.

"Completely outplayed in all three aspects of the game. Have to give them credit, bat and ball they put us under pressure and it was tough for us to come back. Some good honest reflections need to be done. As a team we will have a good reflection, as a white-ball team we have some time off, get stuck into some work and ultimately come back better players with better skills and better execution," Markram said.

After winning the toss, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav opted to bat first. The decision proved fruitful as the team delivered an exceptional performance.

Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma opened for India, forging a solid 73-run partnership. Abhishek displayed an impressive knock, hitting 2 fours and 4 sixes, but his innings ended in the sixth over when Lutho Sipamla dismissed him.

As the innings entered the death overs, the partnership of Tilak Varma and Samson showed no signs of slowing down. In the 18th over, Sanju Samson brought up his century in just 51 balls, followed by Tilak Varma scoring his second T20I hundred in the very next over.
