South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has performed brilliantly in the first test match being played against Bangladesh. Rabada has achieved this feat in the longest format of cricket, which only five South African bowlers before him have been able to achieve. Rabada wreaked havoc with his pace and sent three batsmen of the host team to the pavilion. This fast bowler has also broken the big records of Dale Steyn and Waqar Younis.

Rabada achieved a special achievement

Kagiso Rabada completed his 300 wickets in Test cricket by dismissing Bangladesh's legendary batsman Mushfiqur Rahim. He became the sixth South African bowler to achieve this feat. The special thing is that Rabada has completed the fastest 300 wickets in terms of balls. Rabada completed 300 wickets in Tests by bowling 11,817 balls. Rabada has left behind Waqar Younis and Dale Steyn in this matter. Younis took 300 wickets in 12,602 balls and Steyn took 300 wickets in 12,605 balls.

Kagiso Rabada wreaked havoc

Kagiso Rabada wreaked havoc on Bangladesh batsmen. Rabada showed the way to the pavilion by clean bowling Mushfiqur Rahim for just 11 runs. At the same time, the second victim of the fast bowler was Liton Das, who managed to score only one run. Rabada broke the back of Bangladesh's middle order by dismissing Nayeem Hasan for just 8 runs. Rabada took 3 wickets for 26 runs in a spell of 11 overs. Viaan Mulder and Keshav Maharaj also took three wickets each.

Bangladesh all out for 106 runs

The decision to bat first after winning the toss did not go in favor of Bangladesh team. In front of the fast bowlers of South Africa, the batting order of the host team fell apart like a house of cards. Seven batsmen of Bangladesh could not even cross double figures. Mahmudul Hasan scored the maximum 30 runs for the team. While Mehndi Hasan contributed 13 runs.
