The imposingly built Aiden Markram was the last man to leave the stadium on Saturday. He lingered long after his practice was over, watching Keshav Maharaj bowl into an empty net, observing Ryan Rickelton complete his throwdowns, and until the last of the support staff had packed his luggage. His opening partner Quinton de Kock feels nothing has changed in Markram. “He is still the same. Maybe just clarity. Just clarity in his role”. Yet, Markram has changed. He seems less burdened, less self-demanding and more peaceful. Leadership was once thrust upon him; now he has acquired it and enjoys it. His long-time mentor and former South African batsman, Neil McKenzie, dwells on the characteristics that impress him. “He’s firm when he needs to be, and the boys play for him, which is really good,’’ he tells this daily.
