Kagiso Rabada is the spearhead of South Africa’s pace attack and one of the most feared fast bowlers in world cricket. Wearing jersey number 25, Rabada made his international debut in 2015 and immediately made headlines with a hat-trick on his ODI debut. His lethal combination of pace, bounce, and pinpoint accuracy has made him a consistent wicket-taker across formats. Rabada was the fastest South African to 100 Test wickets and continues to be a dominant force in red-ball cricket, with memorable spells against Australia, India, and England. In limited-overs formats, he remains crucial for breaking partnerships and bowling at the death. His impact in T20 leagues like the IPL, where he won the Purple Cap in 2020, underlines his global reputation. Rabada is admired not just for his skill, but also for his fierce competitiveness and professionalism. Off the field, he’s articulate, socially aware, and a vocal advocate for transformation in South African cricket. At just over 29, Rabada already ranks among South Africa’s greatest fast bowlers and continues to lead the next generation of Proteas with passion and purpose.
