If someone deserves to win a World Cup, it’s South Africa. We have all been part of that heartbreak. Each time the country that won wasn’t yours, you supported them. Klusener to Klassen. pic.twitter.com/j0uoaipZcZ

Turned Out to be A Change in Fortune
In 2019 when Faf was losing tosses after tosses, he brought Bavuma in the middle for the change of luck. Truly turned out to be a change in fortune for the South Africa Test cricket now. pic.twitter.com/MALVCu9Dq2

27 years, 27 long years, and South Africa has won an ICC trophy after a test for the ages
This test had everything, but most of all it had Temba Bavuma & Aiden Markram.
