Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada has been their backbone in all formats of the game. He could destroy any batting line-up in the world with his raw pace. The right-arm pacer is currently the number one bowler in the ICC Test Match Player Rankings.

He got a great start to 2018 when he scalped 15 wickets in the three-match series against India. He troubled even experienced players like Murali Vijay, Rohit Sharma during the India series.

Rabada repeated the same performance and picked up 23 wickets from just 4 games against Australia. He picked up two fifers in a match against Australia to bag the player of the match award.

He did not stop and continued to dominate the teams like Sri Lanka and Pakistan in 2018. The 23-year-old ended the year as the leading wicket-taker in Tests with 52 wickets from just 10 games. It will not be a surprise if he bags the ICC Test Player award.
