Kagiso Rabada set tongues wagging with his emergence in the international cricket. He has been a valuable asset for the South African cricket team, making his presence felt whenever a clutch situation arises.

Last year by January, he had topped both the ICC ODI bowler rankings and the ICC Test bowler rankings at a tender age of 22! He is also the youngest bowler to claim 150 scalps in Tests and was declared the best young player in the world by Wisden in August 2018.

For Rabada, bowling in the range of 140-150 kph is a mere norm. In the recently-concluded edition of IPL, the South African was plying his trade for Delhi Capitals. Out of the 10 fastest balls bowled in IPL 2019, 5 of them were bowled by Kagiso Rabada and his 154.23 kph thunderbolt topped the charts.
