Aiden Markram, you beauty! The batter may have played one of the greatest knocks played at the Newlands cricket stadium. Trailing by 98 runs before South Africa started their second innings in the IND vs SA 2nd Test, Markram looks like a man on a mission. His intent was visible from ball one.
With wickets tumbling from one end, the opener stood strong. His lone warrior innings saw him score 102 of the team’s 158 by the time he reached his 7th Test ton.

Not only did Aiden Markram score 106 runs to give his team a chance to take the series 2-0, but he also overshadowed Virat Kohli, who was the highest run scorer in the match prior to Markram’s scintillating knock.
