Aiden Markram Hails Durban's Super Giants Squad Balance, Ready to Challenge MI Cape Town
Durban’s Super Giants (DSG) are poised to challenge the defending champions in the upcoming SA20 season, bolstered by a strong squad and the leadership of new captain Aiden Markram. Markram, who previously led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to two titles, brings a wealth of experience and a winning mentality to the Lance Klusener-coached side.
Markram highlighted the excellent balance within the DSG setup, which features several world-class players from the IPL circuit. The batting department is formidable, boasting Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler, Sunrisers Hyderabad's Heinrich Klaasen, and New Zealand legend Kane Williamson. The bowling attack is strengthened by Afghanistan mystery spinner Noor Ahmad (Chennai Super Kings).
Markram emphasized that the team's primary goal is to quickly establish its identity and find a strategy that maximizes their chances of playing good cricket and winning games, setting the stage for an exciting challenge in the competition.
“There is a really nice balance in the set-up and we have a nice group of guys. We have some really good all-rounders, mixed with 2-3 world class players with the likes of Buttler, Klaasen and co.”

When you look at this lineup, the captaincy will be the most decisive factor. If you want to replicate the kind of personality Sanju Samson brought to Rajasthan Royals, Dhruv Jurel is probably the closest match.

The only question is leadership. My feeling is the captaincy will likely be between Riyan Parag and Ravindra Jadeja, while Jaiswal might need to wait a bit longer.
