ICC Awards 2017: Top 5 contenders for Cricketer of the Year

#4 Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada is regarded as the most promising fast bowler around. He can bowl with fierce pace and can generate extra bounce off the deck as well.

Rabada made his international debut in a T20 game against Australia in 2014 and ever since, he has been a key member of South Africa side.

The right-arm pacer is now a regular in all three formats and a consistent performer for South Africa. With Dale Steyn out, Rabada leads SA's pace battery at the age of 22.

Rabada has taken 58 wickets in test cricket and 27 wickets in limited overs cricket between September 2016 and 2017.
