Ahead of the T20 World Cup Final, South African cricket legends Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers have reignited the debate surrounding the 'chokers' label, suggesting that New Zealand is more deserving of this tag than South Africa.

The discussion adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming match against India, as both teams seek to secure their first T20 World Cup title. Steyn emphasized New Zealand's struggles in crucial matches, noting that their failures in finals could overshadow South Africa's past disappointments.
