Keshav Maharaj, who provided a very moving account of what the win means for South Africa:
“It’s special. I think, tears probably describe what we feel right now. It’s just such a privilege and honour to lift the coveted title and be a part of it. For everyone out here, and everyone back home, it’s super special for us and the boys.
“It’s just what our country’s about, to see the unity over the last five days and throughout the season, it’s super special and we’re very grateful, as a team, as a nation and as our proud country.
“Without the crowd here today, we probably wouldn’t be in this position over the last four days, so we’re very grateful and thankful to everyone that’s here and from abroad that’s supporting us. Thank you.
“Through adversity, we’ve stood strong as a team and here we are today, to raise a trophy that’s alluded us for a number of years, but we honour those before us, to those that are here and to those that have come, we love you, we appreciate you and continue to keep supporting us, we’re doing good things as a team, and as a country, and may this just be the stepping stone of greater things to come.”
