News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever a big stage like the World Cup is staged on the cricket field, the process of predictions also increases. In this series, former South African captain and veteran batsman Graeme Smith has given a statement which has created a stir among Indian cricket fans. Smith says that this time he wants to see South Africa defeat India in the final of the T20 World Cup.
It’s not just a competition, it’s a desire of the heart!
Graeme Smith recently expressed his desire while talking about the current equations of cricket. He believes that under the captaincy of Aiden Markram, the South African team has the strength to withstand the pressure of big matches. For Smith, this is not just the victory of one match, but an attempt to forever erase the tag of ‘chokers’, which has stuck with this team for years.
Why is India a big challenge?
Graeme Smith knows very well that today Team India is one of the most balanced and dangerous teams in the world. He admitted that India has that mix of youth and experienced players, defeating whom at home or on any neutral ground is like climbing a mountain. But being a former captain, his inclination towards his home team is natural.
Expectations from Aiden Markram’s team
Smith especially praised the leadership of Aiden Markram. He feels that South Africa now has players who know how to turn the match in difficult situations. Referring to past defeats, he said that South Africa has lost many times after coming close to winning, but now the time has come to lift the trophy by defeating the best team in the world.
