“Definitely right up there. With the types of wins that we've had this season, it's hard to say because we've had some pretty epic wins. But this one is definitely in the top three,” Rabada said on social media.
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada feels that their recent success in the ICC World Test Championship Final bolsters their confidence as the focus shifts on winning more major trophies.
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada believes the onus lies on countries outside the big three nations to play good Test cricket in order to keep the format going and gain a good following from a large fanbase.
Rabada, who hasn’t played any international cricket since an emotional World Cup semi-final exit in November, came up with his 14th five-wicket haul in just 61 Tests to match the legendary Shaun Pollock.
His first assignment will be to lead the team in a three-match series against World Cup champions England, starting in Cape Town on February 4.
After clean-bowling the England captain, the South African pacer celebrated loudly and passionately within millimetres of the dismissed batter.
Brett Lee joins the list of former England captain Michael Vaughan and South Africa head coach Mark Boucher who had also taken the side of Kagiso Rabada.
Boucher’s remarks come after Proteas pacer Rabada received one demerit point for his behaviour towards Joe Root.
Kagiso Rabada has now accumulated four demerit points in a 24 month period and will miss South Africa's next Test match against England.
