Virat Kohli’s seven-year-old post about an Australian batter is going viral on social media after the latter’s stunning century in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025 against Australia.
A seven-year-old tweet by Indian cricket star Virat Kohli praising South African batter Aiden Markram has resurfaced and gone viral on social media. The renewed attention comes after Markram’s brilliant century in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025 against Australia. With this exceptional knock, Markram made history by becoming the first South African to score a century in the final of an ICC event.
He notched up his eighth Test century and stayed unbeaten on 102 at the close of Day 3 in the final, putting South Africa within touching distance of a historic victory. In the wake of his brilliant innings, an old post by Virat Kohli praising the Proteas batter has resurfaced and is going viral on social media.
Back in March 2018, during the controversial third Test at Newlands in Cape Town,
Virat Kohli had heaped praise on South African star Aiden Markram for his impressive knock of 84 against Australia. The then-India captain lauded the young batter, describing Markram as a rising talent and a delight to watch.
Markram’s stellar innings has put South Africa within touching distance of a historic victory, as they now need just 69 more runs to clinch the WTC Final 2025. Chasing a target of 282, South Africa are cruising at 213 for 2 in the fourth innings.
Markram, in partnership with skipper Temba Bavuma (65*), has propelled South Africa into a commanding position with a formidable 143-run stand for the third wicket. The pair joined forces at 70/2 and showcased remarkable determination and composure, steadily chipping away at the target. Thanks to their resilient effort, South Africa now stand on the brink of breaking their 27-year-long ICC title drought, with their sole major tournament triumph dating back to 1998.
