Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma didn't have the pleasure of finishing off what they started in the World Test Championship final at Lord's.

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.
