Delhi: The 3 ODI series has started between Australia and South Africa and this is very special for both teams in the ‘Target 2027’ project. The indication of how South Africa is going to play in this series or further has been found in the 3 T20 International series ended between these two teams. Even though the South Africa series lost 2–1, the team’s revenge was clearly visible. After Test cricket, now a changed South Africa cricket team is seen in white ball cricket. How are both coach Shukri Conrad putting South Africa cricket on a new play with captain Aiden Markram (T20) and Temba Bavuma (Test and ODI)?

Coach Conrad showed new path

T20 captain Aiden Markram rightly said that the biggest mantra of coach Conrad was the T20 team played with full independence. Conrad became the coach of South Africa’s white ball cricket team in May this year. By then, he had managed to qualify the Red Ball cricket team for the final of the World Test Championship against Australia in June and finally won. After the first BKT Tires T20 losing by 17 runs, South Africa defeated hosts Australia by 53 runs which is Rainbow Nation’s biggest T20 win over Australia so far. After this, in the third T20, the team lost by 2 wickets when only 1 ball was left. Australia did not get both their victories easily.

Conrad gave Gurmantra to players

That is why Conrad, who are making ‘new team’, are expecting better performance from it. Every player has a message to play with your best talent but enjoying without stress and cricket. In this, it is the most special to bring out new talent, work on it and then encourage players to move forward in the game. 19 -year -old fast bowler Quene Mafaka (4 wickets in the first match) and 22 -year -old Dewald Brevis (100 in the second match 100) are the best examples of this.

This is the reason why not missing time in the change in the team. Veteran Tabrez Shamsi (South African player’s most T20 International Wicket 89) Out because the coach feels that spinner Nakaba Peter and Senuran Muthusamy have overtaken him. Openner Reza Hendrix may have played all 9 matches in the T20 World Cup last year (South Africa final), but some other players have also been out of the Scheme because they have also been out of the Scheme. A new pair of Aiden Markram and Ricelton. All these are preparations for the T20 World Cup in a way.

All -rounders paid attention

The role of spinners in South African cricket was strengthened by Imran Tahir and Keshav Maharaj in the Test, but throwing spin alone during the Conrad era. Do anything else and that is: batting. That is why they want to include more all -rounders in their team and from all -rounder they mean Complete all -rounder: Players who can do a lot with bat and ball too. So neither Maharaj nor Tabrez Shamsi played in the last T20 series. Left-arm spin-chanders all-rounder George Linde and Senuran Muthusamy and off-spin all-rounder Prenelan Subrayan were the options. The strike rate of each one of Linde, Muthusamy and Subrayan is above 110.

Look at 2027 World Cup

If we talk about the 2027 World Cup, then a lot can change for South Africa in the next two years but they are returning to ODI cricket. Heinrich Klassen Retired, Temba Bavuma is a number of injury players, David Miller may be second after Klassen in the strike rate chart but has a scheme to bet on dewald bravis (his 125* was made of 96 runs in his 125* in Darwin) because he is playing with the compassion that the Conrad wants his players. Keshav Maharaj and Tabrez Shamsi were not part of the T20 series as they put more emphasis on all -rounders, but Maharaj returned to the ODI series which shows that some experiments are still going on.

There is an attempt to take the challenge in a new way and the other teams are noting all these changes carefully.
