New Delhi, Sep 13
Durban Super Giants (DSG) have named Aiden Markram as their captain for the upcoming SA20 2025-26 season, unveiling the news on Saturday with a striking AI-generated video that depicted him steering a ship through stormy waters towards its destination.
Ahead of the season, Markram parted ways with Sunrisers Eastern Cape and became one of the most sought-after players at the SA20 auction earlier this month. A fierce bidding war ended with DSG securing his services for a record 14 million rand, briefly the highest price in league history before Dewald Brevis was snapped up by Pretoria Capitals for 16.5 million rand.
With Lance Klusener continuing as head coach and Markram now at the helm, hopes are high that the Durban Super Giants can finally break through and lift their maiden SA20 trophy in the 2025-26 season.
