Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: Test Bowler of the Year

#4 Kagiso Rabada

South Africa’s next big thing

Since the turn of the century, South Africa have always managed to produce world class pace bowlers, one after the other. From Alan Donald to Shaun Pollock to Dale Steyn, the Proteas have not been short of talent in the fast bowling department. The latest entry to this list is youngster Kagiso Rabada who has made a mark on the big stage at the age of 21.

Since making his debut in November last year, Rabada has been in the news for all the right reasons. This year, he picked up 42 wickets in just 8 matches at an average of 22.23 with four 5 wicket hauls to his name. With Steyn and Morne Morkel slowly moving out of the picture, it is safe to say that Rabada is the next big thing in world cricket.
