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.

According to Kevin Pietersen, Aiden Markram's century in the World Test Championship final against Australia was the finest South African hitter's innings in the game's longest format. The Proteas ended their ICC title drought with a 5-wicket victory because of Markram's cool-headed 136 off 207 balls.
