South Africa Under-19 broke the Rainbow Nation’s drought for a world title at Dubai and skipper
Aiden Markram has said that the famous “Chokers” tag did not have any bearing on the team’s psyche in the lead-up to the final against Pakistan. The South African senior side last won a world title in 1998 when they lifted the knock-out in Bangladesh and their junior side lifted the
ICC Under-19 World Cup with a six-wicket win over
Pakistan at Dubai on Saturday.
When asked whether the choker’s tag affect them,
Markram
said, “No not at all. I think it is just a phrase that has been thrown around
and I honestly think it has just been bad timing for the senior Proteas side
when they have been knocked out. So, the chokers emblem, hopefully we have got
rid of it to an extent. To come back with your question, I don’t think it
played on our minds much.”
