#3 Kagiso Rabada
Rabada is one of the most improved and finest fast bowlers in the world right now. Since his excellent display against Australia in the 2016-17 Test series down under, Rabada has grown considerably as a bowler and is a genuine match winner for South Africa. He is also the spearhead of the South African bowling line-up and should Test the Pakistani batsmen considerably in the upcoming Test series.
Rabada has taken 46 wickets in Test matches in the current calendar year and 151 wickets overall in only 32 Test matches. He also has a phenomenal strike rate of 39.3, the best in the history of the game among the bowlers who have taken 150 plus wickets. His bowling average of 21.7 is also among the best of all time. He is extremely fast and can generate good bounce with his open-chested action. If he continues like this, Rabada would soon stake a claim for a place in the all-time South African eleven.
