Top 5 fast bowlers in World Cricket at the moment

New Zealand v England - 2nd Test: Day 3
Boult is one of the quickest bowlers ever

#3 Kagiso Rabada

1st Test: Sri Lanka and South Africa, Day 1
A perfect blend of aggression with pace

Rightfully termed as Dale Steyn's successor, Rabada is the best South African fast bowler at the moment. Rabada is as quick a bowler as can be and was a challenge to even Virat Kohli, the greatest batsman of the era. His bouncers are ripping and create music to the ears. He bowls at a deadly pace and he's a nightmare on bouncy tracks.

Rabada is one of the very few bowlers who can bowl very well at the death. He can swing the ball and he battles out fire with fire. His aggression is something that he can be proud of even though it has landed him into trouble quite a few times. He's still 23 and has a long way to go but Rabada is a very fit bowler and he's sure to become one of the very best in this game.
