Another South African to make the cut, Rabada was unearthed as a special talent in the early days after the Proteas exited the World Cup yet again. KG had a powerful arrival onto the international scene, taking a hat-trick on debut in his sensational spell of 6/16 against the hosts Bangladesh. Rabada, since then, has carved and retained his identity as one of the most complete fast bowlers in recent times.

Bowling with a strong release powered by his shoulder, Rabada can extract lift from the most passive of pitches. The shorter length bursts are often followed by sharp in-dippers to both the right and left-handed batters bowling from over the wicket, the latter often being shocked by the defying trajectory of his deliveries. In a bowling line-up that has seen many transformations in the last three years, Rabada's constant presence has been reassuring for the South Africans.

Also, to add to his assortment are terrorizing toe-crushers to close the curtains on the innings.
