Kagiso Rabada Makes History at Lord’s
Updated - 12-JUN-2025 5:28 IST

The World Test Championship 2025 final between Australia and South Africa is going on at Lord's Cricket Stadium. South Africa’s fast bowler Kagiso Rabada made history at Lord's.
South Africa's Fourth-Highest Test Wicket-Taker
Kagiso Rabada became South Africa's fourth-highest Test wicket-taker with his 5-wicket (5/51) haul against Australia in the WTC 2025 Final, surpassing Allan Donald's 332 Test wicket total.
A Modern Pace Phenomenon
Rabada has already made a name for himself as one of the most deadly fast bowlers of the current era at the young age of thirty. He has continuously led South Africa's attack in all formats and is well-known for his sheer speed, accuracy, and ability to swing the ball both ways. Given that he has played fewer Test matches than many of the others and struggled through injuries and workload management in a busy international schedule, his accomplishment is all the more remarkable.
