3 reasons why Aiden Markram could become the next de Villiers

#2 Leading run-scorer in the 2014 under-19 World Cup

South Africa v India - 1st Momentum ODI

Aiden Markram showed his hunger for runs at an early age, being the highest run-scorer in the under-19 World Cup. He accumulated 370 runs at a whopping average of 123.

This was a clear sign that the young man would be a word class batsman on the international stage and he has proven this to be the case with his performances thus far. He has a healthy appetite for runs and doesn't waste any time at the crease in getting them.

The test series against Australia highlighted once again just how much mental toughness the young man has. His calm head and maturity are positive signs for someone so young and his lack of fear at the crease does show that he is willing to take the bowling on.
