Choker means an unfortunate person who is unable to perform effectively because of nervous, tension or agitation.
Example : “he could win if he wasn't a choker”
In sports, choker refers to the failure of a person, or persons, to act or behave as anticipated or expected. This can occur in a game or tournament that they are strongly favoured to win, or in an instance where they have a large lead that they squander in the late stages of the event. It can also refer to repeated failures in the same event, or simply imply an unexpected failure when the event is more important than usual.
In cricket The South African cricket team is known as one of the fiercest competitors in all formats of the game, but another quality associated with them is their inability to win critical games. It is this unwanted record that has earned them the nickname 'chokers'.
Let's take a look at the top five moments when the Proteas choked in T20 World Cup history.
2007 T20 World Cup vs India
Hosts of the inaugural T20 World Cup, the South African side were favourites to go to the knockout stage. However, while chasing the target of 154 to win, they needed to score only 126 to make it to the semi-final. However, they could only reach 116/9 despite being 100/5 with Mark Boucher and Albie Morkel well set at the crease.
2009 T20 World Cup vs Pakistan
In the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2009, the Proteas were the favourites to win, but as it turned out, they lost despite being in a winning position. Chasing 150 to win, Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy were all set, needing 39 off the last three overs with six wickets in hand. However, Kallis got out and the momentum shifted with the Pakistanis winning the match.
2010 T20 World Cup vs Pakistan
Pakistan was once again in the way of the South Africans. This time around, it was just a group-stage match, but that would have decided the two semi-finalists. They were chasing 149 to win this time and were 101/4 with AB de Villiers and Mark Boucher at the crease. In 27 balls, they needed 48 to win but failed as they lost the match by 11 runs.
2021 T20 World Cup
In the T20 World Cup 2021, it was not just one match but a combination of two matches that cost the Proteas a chance in the semi-final. In the first game against Australia, they had the Aussies down at 38/3 in 8 overs, chasing 119 to win. Instead of building the pressure, they let it loose and Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade eventually won it. In another match against Sri Lanka, they lost quick wickets at the end and stretched the game too long, which hurt them big time. In the end, South Africa, Australia, and England ended up with equal points, but the Proteas were eliminated because of a lower net run rate.
2022 T20 World Cup vs the Netherlands
But the biggest shocker for the Proteas was their loss at the hands of the Netherlands in the 2022 T20 World Cup. They were not supposed to lose, they only needed that win to go ahead of Pakistan in the points table, but knowing that before the last game maybe made the difference in their psyche and they messed up yet again.
