WTC 2025 Final: Virat Kohli was absolutely right when he praised Aiden Markram openly on X (now known as Twitter) back in 2018.

South Africa outplayed Australia in the World Test Championship 2025 final, and the majority of the credit goes to Aiden Markram.

Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Lyon - this is a bowling lineup that can scare the life out of batters, at least in the purest format of the game. But it took a great deal of determination from both Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram to suck the life out of the Australian bowlers. Both Bavuma and Markram stitched a partnership of 147 runs and kept South Africa afloat.

South Africa Conquer The Pinnacle Of Test Cricket

Beating Australia in a big ICC final is no small deal, and the South Africans defied all the odds to outplay the Aussies on the grandest stage of them all. South Africa defeated Australia by 5 wickets and slammed their authority on the world, solidifying their dominance in the longest and purest format of the game. Just a small section of cricket fans had given South Africa the edge over Australia, and even that hope was lost when the Proteas crumbled under pressure and managed to score only 138 runs in reply to Australia's 212 runs.
