Shukri Conrad hails Bavuma's grit after WTC win

London, June 14 (UNI) South Africa ended their 27-year wait for a major ICC men’s title with a five-wicket win over Australia in the World Test Championship Final at Lord's on Saturday, a triumph defined as much by tactical brilliance as by sheer grit.
At the heart of it was a battered but unbowed Temba Bavuma, who defied a hamstring injury to forge a match-turning partnership with Aiden Markram in the fourth innings chase of 282.
"I was the one to say Temba shouldn’t keep going," South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad admitted, his voice trembling with emotion. "But the partnership was critical — and they (Bavuma and Aiden Markman) know better than the coaches anyway."
