Markram Backs Pant, Values Shami's Consistency

Markram praised Pant's form and leadership style, noting that the captain bounces ideas off senior players when needed. "Any team that has Rishabh firing is a better team. He's an absolute entertainer with serious abilities," Markram said.

The South African captain also highlighted Shami's importance to LSG's pace attack. "There's no one really like him. To have him sharing that knowledge with some of the younger pacers is invaluable," Markram added, explaining his own approach to T20 cricket focuses on good cricket shots rather than maximum hitting.
