between India and South Africa T20 World Cup The final match of 2024 is to be played in Barbados today i.e. on 29th June. There is a fear among Indian fans before this big match and the reason for this is none other than South African captain Aiden Markram. Yes, Markram's record as captain in ICC tournaments is scaring 140 crore Indians.

Whenever Markram has captained South Africa in ICC tournaments, he has proved to be a boon for them. He is the first Proteas captain to lead his team to the World Cup final and if he can lead South Africa to victory over India in the T20 World Cup final, he will not only enjoy winning the World Cup of senior cricket but will also continue his winning streak as a captain in ICC events.

Yes, winning every match as captain in ICC events is nothing new for Aiden Markram. During the 2023 ODI World Cup, he led South Africa in two matches against England and Bangladesh in the absence of Temba Bavuma. South Africa won those matches by 229 and 149 runs respectively.

Earlier in 2014, Markram captained South Africa's U-19 team in the ICC U-19 World Cup and won the trophy by winning all the matches. Under his leadership, the team won all its 6 matches and won its only ICC title apart from the 1998 Knockout Trophy. Overall, Markram has not lost a single match as captain in any ICC tournament, meaning that his win percentage has been 100. So it should not be a surprise if he wins the final against India, but given the recent form of the Indian team, it will not be easy but this record of Markram is definitely scaring Indian fans.

Markram's achievements are not limited to the national team. He also led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to consecutive titles in the first two seasons of the SA20 franchise league.
