Aiden Markram Captaincy

Ad

Aiden Markram shot into the limelight when he became the first South African skipper to win an ICC title in the ICC U-19 World Cup 2014. Before the captaincy in the 2014 World Cup, he was conferred the captaincy for the quadrangular series in India in 2012-13.

Markram was chosen as captain for the home ODI series against India, becoming the second youngest to captain The Proteas in ODIs after Graeme Smith. However, the hosts lost the series 1-5.

In franchise cricket, Markram won back-to-back titles in the SA20 for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape (SEC) in 2023, the inaugural edition, and in 2024. Considering he won the trophy for the SEC, the IPL-bound think-tank appointed him as the captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad for IPL 2023, but he had a disastrous season as the Sunrisers found themselves reeling at the bottom of the table.
