A stylish batsmen with lots of aggresive strokes in his repertoire, Markram is already seen as a future leader in South Africa. However, his captaincy debut against India was a disaster as India won the six match series 4-1. Still, Markram is the Proteas' first choice opener in Tests and ODIs and will play an important part in the side's fortunes in the near future.
