Rassie van der Dussen is a consistent and composed top-order batter who has become a mainstay in South Africa’s white-ball teams. Wearing jersey number 72, van der Dussen made his international debut in 2018 at the age of 29, marking a late but impactful entry into top-level cricket. Known for his patience, tactical awareness, and ability to pace an innings, he quickly became one of South Africa’s most dependable ODI and T20I batters. His debut series against Pakistan and his 95 on World Cup debut against England in 2019 signaled his arrival. With a high average in ODIs and solid strike rate in T20Is, he is often tasked with anchoring the innings and guiding the team through middle overs. Van der Dussen also boasts domestic success, having performed consistently in franchise leagues and for Gauteng and the Lions. Though not a regular in Tests, his technique and temperament suit red-ball cricket. Off the field, he is level-headed and known for his mature outlook. With his ability to adapt to various roles and play under pressure, Rassie van der Dussen remains a critical part of South Africa’s batting engine room in limited-overs formats.
