Rabada Slips Past 8 Test Wickets South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada’s Test cricket career has only been around for about a year and four months, but he managed to reach the 200-wicket milestone in his 17th Test match on Wednesday against India. According to the 8Xbet most recent one was the fourth wicket of the Indian innings, where he dismissed their captain Virat Kohli, who got out for 13 runs after getting bowled by Rabada. Test Cricket At 200 Test wickets, Rabada is only 10 away from becoming only South African bowler with a career- high of 150+ test wickets. He recently overtook Shaun Pollock as South Africa’s highest wicket taker in test cricket. By 2050, he can easily take over from Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan (800+) and spin bowl for a few more years, even though his height makes him more of a tearaway than an off spinner. The fact that he took all these wickets at such a young age also shows his immense potential to go past 300 and 400 in upcoming matches. If anything, we are just scratching the surface of what seems like one of South Africa’s most promising cricketers to date. And if you are wondering why there is no Dale Steyn on our list... well, I guess that goes without saying. 😉 Morne Morkel With that in mind, it would be interesting to see how close he [Kagiso Rabada] can get to South Africa’s all-time top wicket taker and arguably one of best fast bowlers of our time. Morne Morkel is South Africa’s highest wicket taker with 251 Test match scalps, which isn’t too far ahead of Dale Steyn on 237. The Proteas are currently playing against India at home and if they manage to win both matches, we could see a new record set as early as next week. It will take some effort from Rabada though because Morkel has taken his wickets at an average of 29.55 while Kagiso has a strike rate of 40.2 balls per wicket so far in his career. Glen McGrath Playing for Australia, McGrath played in 124 Tests and was a part of that golden generation which saw Australia win two World Cups. During his international career spanning from 1993 to 2007, he took 563 wickets at an average of 22.64. His record is remarkable, with most players taking ten years or more to achieve half as many wickets. In fact, only three other players have taken over 500 wickets in their careers; these are Muttiah Muralitharan (800), Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619). He also scored 2190 runs across his career at a decent average of 21.94. James Anderson
