Aiden Markram reminded fans of Sachin Tendulkar on Friday (October 27) during South Africa’s World Cup match against Pakistan in Chennai. 

The stylish middle-order batsman hit Pakistan's express pacer Haris Rauf for six runs with a gorgeous uppercut, something Tendulkar often did during his days.

It was a back-of-a-length delivery by Rauf, which Markram anticipated perfectly. The South African jumped in the air and played a superb upper cut to send the ball over the third-man region.

The shot was so pleasing to the eyes, while Haris Rauf left stunned after getting belted by the middle-order batsman.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan were bundled out for 270 in 46.4 overs, with Tabraiz Shamsi doing the most damage, having claimed 4/60. Saud Shakeel was the top-scorer for Pakistan, having made a quick-fire 53, while Babar Azam fell right after scoring a gritty half-century.
