Watch: Aiden Markram obliterates Jason Holder’s stumps and gives a fiery send-off as tensions rise

South Africa National Cricket Team all-rounder Aiden Markram was at his fierce best in the first Test match of the series against the West Indies National Cricket Team. The match between the teams is taking place at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain in Trinidad.

South Africa's opener Aiden Markram didn't have a great outing with the bat in the first innings but he made sure that he stepped up for his team with the ball. The right-hander was removed by Jason Holder early on his innings as the West Indies all-rounder uprooted his off stump.

The dismissal didn't seem to impress Markram at all as he then took an act of perfect revenge with the ball. The South African all-rounder ensured that he made Jason Holder taste his own medicine as he similarly dismissed him as he got dismissed in the first innings of the Match.

During the 4th ball of the 76th over, Aiden Markram bowled an 89.1kph off-spin delivery that didn't offer much spin. Jason Holder got forward to drive through extra cover but he got beaten on the outside edge to the peach by the South Africa player.

Jason Holder expected the ball to turn more as the ball went on to hit the off-stump. The West Indies National Cricket Team looked clueless as he heard the ball hitting the stumps as Aiden Markram got his revenge to perfection.

After Markram removed Jason Holder, he was extremely pumped up. The right-hander shared some words with the West Indies National Cricket Team all-rounder, who walked off the field extremely disappointed with the way he got out.
