India vs South Africa 2018: 5 players who could decide the Test series

#1 Kagiso Rabada

South Africa v Bangladesh - Day 3

Young, fast, and deadly. There is no better way to describe a man who can possibly give nightmares to the Indian batsmen. Kagiso Rabada has been the standout performer for the hosts during the last 12 months.

In 2017, Rabada has taken 54 wickets in Tests at an average of 20.96. His stats look even better in home conditions as Rabada averages 18.10 in South Africa.

In the absence of Dale Steyn, the 22-year-old did exceptionally well for South Africa in 2017, helping them to a series win over Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka.

Indian batsmen always struggled against pace and bounce and Rabada is exactly the kind of bowler to trouble them. With games scheduled in Centurion and Cape Town, Rabada will enjoy bowing against India on a fast and bouncy wicket. He has all the abilities to single-handedly win the series for South Africa.
