Aiden Markram Facts

  1. Aiden, in March 2019, had scored 127 runs in the final of the 2018–19 edition of the Momentum One Day Cup (South Africa’s premier domestic one-day cricket competition), to help his franchise team, Titans, win the tournament.
  2. In October 2017, in just his 2nd test match for South Africa, against Bangladesh, he had scored 143 runs off 186 balls. He had made his ODI debut later that month, again against Bangladesh. In that match, he had scored 66 runs and picked up 2 wickets.
  3. In December 2017, he had become the first South African cricketer in history to have scored 2 centuries in his first 3 test matches.
  4. In February 2018, within 6 months of his ODI debut, he had been named the senior national team’s stand-in captain for the last 5 ODIs of their home ODI bilateral series against India. This was after regular captain Faf du Plessis had been ruled out of the rest of the series due to a finger injury that he had sustained in the first ODI of the series. At the age of 23 years and 123 days, he was the then second-youngest player to have captained South Africa in ODIs, after Graeme Smith.
  5. In February 2021, he was the leading run-scorer in South Africa’s bilateral away test series against Pakistan but that was not enough to prevent a 2–0 defeat in the 2-match series. This was South Africa’s first test series defeat against Pakistan since 2003.
