South Africa won a historic ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's on Saturday. The Proteas claimed a 5-wicket win over Australia, becoming the third different side to win the global ICC event since its introduction in 2019. It has been a brilliant tournament, keeping the magic of Test cricket alive.

From Kagiso Rabada with the ball initially to Aiden Markram with the bat later, South Africa found heroes who battled the odds as well as public perception to forge an evergreen global triumph

The eight-match win streak is the highest in the World Test Championship history, bettering India and New Zealand, who won seven consecutive fixtures each during the inaugural cycle.

The choker tag has finally been put to rest. South Africa defeated Australia by five wickets to win their maiden World Test Championship title on Saturday.

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.
