The World Test Championship (WTC) final is scheduled to be played between South Africa and Australia at the Lord's Cricket Ground, starting from June 11 to 15
Aiden Markram, who is yet to prove himself on big stages for South Africa, will be expected to bring his 'A-game' in the title clash against Australia. He is just 143 runs shy of completing his tally of 3,000 runs in the longest format of the game. So far, having played 45 Test matches, the right-hander has scored 2,857 runs, including seven centuries and 13 half-centuries
South Africa's premier pacer Kagiso Rabada needs to claim just three wickets to surpass legendary Alan Donald to become the fourth-highest wicket-taker for the Proteas in Test cricket. So far, the 30-year-old has scalped 327 wickets in 70 Test matches for the 'Rainbow Nation'
Keshav Maharaj is just falling short of two wickets from becoming the first-ever South African spinner to complete 200 scalps in the longest format of the game. So far in 57 matches, he has 198 wickets
Maharaj is also six wickets away from achieving the feat of becoming the first-ever South African spinner to complete the tally of 300 scalps in international cricket (T20Is + ODIs + Tests). In 144 international appearances for SA, the 35-year-old has grabbed 294 wickets
