Probably The Best Innings Any South African Batter Has Ever Played In Test Cricket, Says Pietersen On Markram’s Knock
ICC World Test Championship: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen lauded Aiden Markram’s masterly 136, playing a big part in South Africa winning the 2025 ICC World Test Championship, saying that it was the finest innings ever played by a South African batter in Test cricket.
After bagging a duck in the first innings, Markram stood up to hit a magnificent 136, laced with 14 boundaries, and play a crucial hand in South Africa chasing down 282 before lunch on day four’s play, as the Proteas secured a major ICC championship win after 27 years of heartbreak in the knockout stages of various tournaments.
“Probably the best innings any South African batter has ever played in Test match cricket. It might not go down as the most attacking or entertaining if you look back at South Africa’s Test history — but when you factor in the expectation, the stage, and the pressure after failing in the first innings, it was extraordinary.”
