South Africa’s batting hero Aiden Markram has taken longer than expected to deliver on his promise, but a match-winning century against Australia in the World Test Championship final is being hailed as the biggest in the country’s cricketing history.

Kevin Pietersen claimed that the hundred by Aiden Markram in the World Test Championship final was the best knock by a South African batter in Test cricket. Markram was adjudged as the Player Of The Match for his performance.

Aiden Markram scored a century, helping South Africa win the World Test Championship against Australia. Coach Ray Jennings promoted Markram as opener during the 2014 U19 World Cup. Markram faced challenges in his red-ball career despite early success.
