WTC Final: It's An Honour To Lift The Cup For Everyone Out Here And Back Home, Says Maharaj
ICC World Test Championship: After South Africa ended their International Cricket Council (ICC) title drought with a five-wicket win over Australia to win the 2025 ICC World Test Championship final, a teary-eyed left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj said winning the coveted Test mace at Lord’s has been an absolute honour.
By chasing 282 on the fourth day of the final, South Africa broke their 27-year knockout hoodoo to win the ICC World Test Championship for the first time. “It's special, it's an honour to lift the cup for everyone out here and back home. It's what the country's about, the unity among everyone in the last five days. We're very grateful, as a team, as a nation, as a proud country.”
“I think the emotions would've spurred me in the right direction had I got into bat. Thanks to everyone who's been supporting us, through adversity, we've stood strong. We honour those who've come before us, may this be a stepping stone for greater things to come,” said Maharaj at the conclusion of the title clash.
