5 most unexpected comebacks in cricket in 2025
It won't be wrong to call 2025 a year of comebacks, not just for individual players but for teams as well.
2. South Africa's World Test Championship glory
South Africa ended their ICC title drought after beating Australia in the World Test Championship final at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in England. This win meant a lot to the South African supporters as they had crashed out in the knockout stages in various ICC events, including two quarter-finals, 12 semi-finals, and one final.
Not many in the cricket fraternity gave the Proteas a chance against a strong Australian side. Some even opined that South Africa did not face too many stiff challenges en route to the finals. South Africa handed a 74-run lead in the first innings, but the Temba Bavuma-led side bounced back like warriors and chased down a 282-run target in the fourth innings to lift the title.
