Spells Of Markram And Shamsi Tilted The Game In South Africa’s Favour, Says Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma: India’s left-handed batter Tilak Varma said spells of South Africa spinners Tabraiz Shamsi and captain Aiden Markram played a decisive role in tilting the second T20I in their favour, adding that if not for the duo, the visitors’ could have got 200 or above.
Markram took 1-29 while Shamsi returned with economical figures of 1-18 in South Africa’s five-wicket win in Gqeberha. "I feel the wicket was a bit on the slower side when we batted, especially with the new ball it was slightly seaming.”
“After that, it was gripping a bit and spinning a bit when Markram and Shamsi were bowling. So the spell that Markram and Shamsi bowled went their way. I think it was a good spell from them. Otherwise, we could have reached 200 or 200-plus," said Varma in the post-match press conference.
