CAPE TOWN - Kagiso Rabada has etched his name into cricket history as the fastest bowler by balls delivered to reach the milestone of 350 test wickets, achieving the feat during South Africa's clash with Australia on Saturday.
The South African spearhead's exceptional performance came as Australia's batting order crumbled at Newlands, with the tourists reaching just 60 for seven at lunch on the opening day of their chase. Australia requires 288 runs to secure victory in the decisive third test of the series.
Rabada's demolition of Australia's top order underscored his status as one of international cricket's premier fast bowlers. His rapid accumulation of wickets reflects both his sustained excellence and the vulnerability of opposing batsmen facing his pace and skill.
The collapse of Australia's innings places the tourists in a precarious position heading into the afternoon session, with their pursuit of victory now heavily dependent on a significant batting recovery.
