South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada made history during the first Test against Bangladesh, surpassing Pakistan’s legendary pacer Waqar Younis to become the fastest bowler to reach 300 Test wickets by deliveries bowled.
Rabada achieved the milestone with just 11,817 deliveries, beating Waqar’s record of 12,602.
The milestone came as Rabada dismissed Bangladesh’s wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored 11 runs, on the opening day of the Test series.
Bangladesh struggled significantly, collapsing for just 106 runs, with only Mahmudul Hasan Joy managing a top score of 30.
Rabada, alongside Wiaan Mulder and Keshav Maharaj, dominated the Bangladeshi batting order, each securing three wickets to put South Africa in control.
The day ended on a high note for the Proteas as Rabada etched his name into cricketing history with his record-breaking performance.
