Ponting Puts Markram's WTC Final Century at Lord's in Elite ICC Company
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|June 17, 2025
Australia legend Ricky Ponting rated Aiden Markram's 136 in the recently concluded ICC World Test Championship 2025 Final as one of the very best batting performances on the biggest stage.
No stranger to delivering in high-pressure situations, Ponting made a habit of scoring match-winning knocks in the games that mattered the most. None more iconic than his 140 against India in the ICC World Cup Final in 2003 and 111 not out against England in the ICC Champions Trophy in 2009.
Speaking to ICC Digital after the epic World Test Championship Final at Lord's, Ponting had high praise for Markram's cracking ton that helped South Africa lift the mace after beating Australia by five wickets, and placed the knock among the best centuries that he could recall on the big stage.
"When you look back through big ICC events, I think the first thing that probably comes to mind is World Cup finals," Ponting said.
