#2. Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

The young pace sensation in Kagiso Rabada from South Africa has taken the world by storm ever since his arrival in the international arena. In his few years of cricket at the highest level, he has scaled heights rather quickly to certainly be among the best in the world.
His ability to bowl quick and consistently hit uncertain lines for the batsman makes him any captain's delight. He has shown the skill and the right temperament to bowl even during the times of adversity. He has been even more lethal in the past few months with his death bowling prowess coming to the fore more frequently in the shorter version of the games.
He has the knack of picking wickets in the death with his innate ability to execute his yorkers and slower ball variations. As a result, the teams find difficult to score off him as he is not only quick but deadly accurate and allows no moment to breathe free against his bowling.
