Strongest Test playing XI featuring Under-26 players

#8 Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada is another exceptionally talented South African pacer. The 23-year-old already has a wealth of experience in his kitty. The speedster can be intimidating for the batsman as he gets the ball to generate a lot of bounce. He is also helped with his 6-foot 3-inch frame.

His exceptional performance for the U-19 team at the 2014 World Cup brought him to the limelight. In one of the matches against Australia, he had picked up 6 wickets.

The right-arm fast bowler made his Test debut against India on Nov 05, 2015. In the 32 Tests, Rabada has picked up a staggering 151 wickets at an average of 21.71 and economy rate of 3.31.

Earlier this year, in July, Rabada also became the youngest player to reach 150 wickets in Tests.

His ability to swing the ball at high speeds has proved to be lethal for the opposition. There are many memorable spells bowled by Rabada which have turned the tide in favour of the Proteas. He is currently the highest ranked bowler in Test cricket as per ICC Test rankings.

With Rabada and Ngidi in their ranks, South Africa can be assured of the pace bowling department for the coming few years.

Rabada has also been impressive for South Africa in ODI's. Having played 57 ODIs, he is just 7 wickets away from reaching the 100 mark.
