Following South Africa's historic victory over Australia in the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's, Aiden Markram took a moment to discuss the pivotal partnership he shared with captain Temba Bavuma.
Markram's outstanding performance, scoring 136 runs in the fourth innings, earned him the Player of the Match award. Bavuma also played a crucial role with his gritty knock of 66.
When Bavuma joined Markram at the crease, South Africa were 70/2 and facing a challenging target of 282 runs for victory. Despite Bavuma suffering a hamstring cramp around the 22nd over, the duo persevered and continued to build on their partnership.
With the game hanging in the balance, Bavuma's injury could have been a turning point. However, his determination and resilience shone through as he battled on, helping South Africa strengthen their position in the match.
