Since his younger days, Aiden Markram was touted as the next big thing in South African cricket. The right-handed batter began his career with a bang as an opener. But after his performances declined at the top, he was dropped from the side.
Understanding the requirement of the South African team for a solid middle-order batter, Aiden Markram successfully transformed himself into a reliable middle-order batter. He has not looked back ever since and now, he is a pillar of the South African batting unit.
The 29-year-old has played 55 one-day internationals in his career so far and amassed a total of 1665 runs at an average of 35.42 and a strike rate of 96.35. He has two centuries and seven half-centuries against his name.
