Kagiso Rabada
Kagiso Rabada has been a revelation to the pace attack of South Africa for quite some time now. With Dale Steyn not as fit as he used to be and Morne Morkel retiring, Rabada has certainly become the spearhead for the South African cricket team.
Kagiso has been brutalising all batting line-ups in the world ever since he made his debut back in 2015 against India. He is remembered for keeping the chase master MS Dhoni quiet, limiting him to five balls in the 50th over during his debut tour. Apart from intimidating the batsmen with his brutal bouncer, the man from Highveld Lions also has great ability to swing the ball conventionally with no compromise in line and length.
At 23, he already has 176 wickets in 37 tests at an agonizing average of 21. In the 62 ODIs he has played so far, he has scalped 98 wickets at an economy of fewer than 5 runs per over. Rabada is undoubtedly an all format player and in the years to come, he could well be the next big thing for South African cricket after Steyn.
