KAGISO RABADA
Kagiso Rabada continues to cement his legacy as one of South Africa’s greatest fast bowlers and his teammates are not shy about expressing their admiration.
Rabada reached his 300th test wicket milestone during a match against Bangladesh in Dhaka, where he delivered a stunning performance with figures of 3-26 in 11 overs, helping bowl out Bangladesh for just 106.
Wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne offered high praise ahead of the World Test Championship Final:
“KG’s the best bowler in the world. Without a doubt. He’s one of those guys that always wants to do it on the big stage… I think he’s going to be massive for us.”
“By the time he retires, he will be one of the greatest fast bowlers South Africa has ever had”
KESHAV MAHARAJ
Keshav Maharaj is widely regarded by his teammates and coaches as a true custodian of South African cricket, embodying professionalism, passion, and leadership.
With nearly 200 test wickets, Maharaj is already considered South Africa’s best left-arm spinner in a long time.
His role in the current World Test Championship cycle - 40 wickets in eight matches has been pivotal to South Africa’s success.
