Happy Birthday "Raw Pacer" Rabada
On this day, in 1995, Kagiso Rabada was born at Johannesburg, South Africa. Being a tall, raw pacer, he played U-19 cricket for South Africa, during 2014. He had featured in the 2014 U-19 Cricket World Cup, where against Australia he had picked up 6 wicket haul, which saw him in the limelight. In the same year, he made his international cricket debut against Australia, in late November. Even though, he missed the 2015 Cricket World Cup, he came back into the side, in July - August, making his ODI debut against Bangladesh. In his ODI debut, he picked a 6 fer, including a hattrick and only the second bowler after Taijul Islam, to pick a hattrick on a debut match. From there, he was famously known for his quick pace bouncers and in swingers. During the same year, he played against India, where he was the joint leading wicket taker for South Africa, helping them in clinching the series. Also, during the same tour, he made his test debut.
In 2016, during the test series against England, he picket up his first ten wicket haul. He finished with 13/144, with picking 5 wicket haul in both the innings and also achieved his best figures of 7/112 in the first innings. His second ten wicket haul, came against Sri Lanka in 2017 at Cape
town. Some of the best fast bowlers South Africa has ever produced. Just like Pat Cummins, a natural fast bowler, whose run up and his action were so casual with less support but solid pace of 140+ kmph. Also, he has a long casual run up, in which he gains much momentum but don't predict him with his normal run up.
Also a hardworking cricketer, with whom we can give more work. But, also a little prone to injury. At the age of 22, he became the top ranked ODI bowler, becoming the youngest to do so. In 2016, he won South Africa's Cricketer of the year Award. In 2018, Wisden named him best young player in the world.
In 2018, he became the youngest bowler to pick 150 wickets in Test Cricket, surpassing Harbhajan Singh, and also the third fastest to claim 150 wickets in test cricket. In the same year, during the test series against India, for his best performance, he earned top spot in ICC's Test Bowler Rankings.
Right now, he might we not in good touch, but still he is one good assert for South African team. In 43 Test matches, he picked 197 wickets and in ODI cricket, in 75 matches, he snatched 117 wickets. Also, he is now the forntline seam bowler for South African team.
