South Africa’s captain, Aiden Markram, commended his team’s ability to adapt quickly to the pitch conditions after defeating India by 76 runs in the Super Eights match of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.

The captain also highlighted the fielding effort and the impact of pacer Lungi Ngidi in the match.
